ABSTRACT Motivated by data value locality and quality tolerance present in multimedia applications, we propose a new micro-architecture, Region-level Approximate Computation Buffer...
As transistors keep shrinking and on-chip data caches keep growing, static power dissipation due to leakage of caches takes an increasing fraction of total power in processors. Se...
Modern processors can issue and execute multiple instructions per cycle, often performing multiple memory operations simultaneously. To reduce stalls due to resource conflicts, m...

Leakage power reduction in cache memories continues to be a critical area of research because of the promise of a significant pay-off. Various techniques have been developed so fa...
In this paper, we take the idea of application-level processing on disks to one level further, and focus on an architecture, called Cluster of Active Disks (CAD), where the storag...
