While previous research has shown that FPGAs can efficiently implement many types of computations, their flexibility inherently limits their clock rate. Several research groups ha...
High performance architectures have always had to deal with the performance-limiting impact of branch operations. Microprocessor designs are going to have to deal with this proble...
— The input-queued switch architecture is widely used in Internet routers, due to its ability to run at very high line speeds. A central problem in designing an input-queued swit...
Abstract— Design variability due to within-die and die-todie process variations has the potential to significantly reduce the maximum operating frequency and the effective yield...
We have fabricated a Chip Multiprocessor prototype code-named Merlot to proof our novel speculative multithreading architecture. On Merlot, multiple threads provide wider issue wi...
