As technology scales, more sophisticated fabrication processes cause variations in many different parameters in the device. These variations could severely affect the performance o...
Traditionally, cache coherence in large-scale shared-memory multiprocessors has been ensured by means of a distributed directory structure stored in main memory. In this way, the ...
Abstract—Today’s wirelessly networked embedded systems underlie a vast array of electronic devices, performing computation, communication, and input/output. A major design goal...
Estimating the maximum power and thermal characteristics of a processor is essential for designing its power delivery system, packaging, cooling, and power/thermal management sche...
