The use of nanometer technologies is making it increasingly important to consider transient characteristics of a circuit’s power dissipation (e.g., peak power, and power gradien...
The running time of many applications is dominated by the cost of memory operations. To optimize such applications for a given platform, it is necessary to have a detailed knowled...
The extremely low latencies and high bandwidth results achievable with the Scalable Coherent Interface SCI at lowest level encourages its integration into existing Message Passin...
Portable systems such as cell phones and portable media players commonly use non-volatile RAM (NVRAM) to hold all of their data and metadata, and larger systems can store metadata...
The register file access time is one of the critical delays in current superscalar processors. Its impact on processor performance is likely to increase in future processor genera...
