Initial algebra semantics is a cornerstone of the theory of modern functional programming languages. For each inductive data type, it provides a fold combinator encapsulating struc...
Modern embedded processors access the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) every cycle to speculate branch target addresses. Such accesses, quite often, are unnecessary as there is no branc...
We describe the design of VIP, a graphical front-end to the model checker SPIN. VIP supports a visual formalism, called v-Promela that connects the model checker to modern hierarc...
As the amount of data used by programs increases due to the growth of hardware storage capacity and computing power, efficient memory usage becomes a key factor for performance. Si...
Soft error reliability has become a first-order design criterion for modern microprocessors. Architectural Vulnerability Factor (AVF) modeling is often used to capture the probab...
