3D integration is an emergent technology that has the potential to greatly increase device density while simultaneously providing faster on-chip communication. 3D fabrication invo...
Embedded processors like Intel’s XScale use dynamic branch prediction to improve performance. Due to the presence of context switches, the accuracy of these predictors is reduce...
With technology advancing toward deep submicron, leakage energy is of increasing concern, especially for large onchip array structures such as caches and branch predictors. Recent...
