The current paradigm of using Cu interconnects for on-chip global communication is rapidly becoming a serious performance bottleneck in ultra-deep submicron (UDSM) technologies. C...
Due to increasing power densities, both on-chip average and peak temperatures are fast becoming a serious bottleneck in processor design. This is due to the cost of removing the h...
Non-uniform utilization of functional units in combination with hardware mechanisms such as clock gating leads to different power consumptions in different parts of a processor ch...
With the increasing levels of variability and randomness in the characteristics and behavior of manufactured nanoscale structures and devices, achieving performance optimization u...
—This paper discusses several important aspects in the HSUPA scheduling algorithms. First, it clearly demonstrates the benefit of explicitly utilizing the directly measured Rise-...
