This paper explores a novel way to incorporate hardware-programmable resources into a processor microarchitecture to improve the performance of general-purpose applications. Throu...
In the past decade, energy-efficiency has been an important system design issue in both hardware and software managements. For mobile applications with critical missions, both ene...
Current superscalar processors, both RISC and CISC, require substantial instruction fetch and decode bandwidth to keep multiple functional units utilized. While CISC instructions ...
Experiments in High Energy Physics (HEP) generate tremendous amounts of data. For example, the accelerator at CERN is expected to generate petabytes per year. New HEP discoveries ...
