As logic device sizes shrink towards the nanometer scale, a number of important physical limits threaten to soon halt further improvements in computer performance per unit cost. H...
In distributed and mobile systems with volatile bandwidth and fragile connectivity, non-functional aspects like performance and reliability become more and more important. To forma...
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...
As the sizes of general and special purpose processors increase rapidly, generating high quality manufacturing tests which can be run at native speeds is becoming a serious proble...
