Abstract--We present a processor-programmable built-in selftest (BIST) scheme suitable for embedded memory testing in the system-on-a-chip (SOC) environment. The proposed BIST circ...
A novel approach, based on a radix-4 Booth encoding, is presented for constant coefficient multipliers. The major advantage of this approach is that it reduces the amount of reconf...
One of the main concerns in today's processor design is the issue logic. Instruction-level parallelism is usually favored by an out-of-order issue mechanism where instruction...
This paper explains a technique that integrates conservative garbage collection on top of general memory allocators. This is possible by using two data structures named malloc-tab...

In a generational garbage collector, a pre-tenured object is one that is allocated directly in the old generation. Pretenuring long-lived objects reduces the number of times that ...
