Dynamic binary translators (DBT) have recently attracted much attention for embedded systems. The effective implementation of DBT in these systems is challenging due to tight cons...
Processor Idle Cycle Aggregation (PICA) is a promising approach for low power execution of processors, in which small memory stalls are aggregated to create a large one, and the p...
Abstract— Noise induced by impedance discontinuities from VLSI packaging is one of the leading challenges facing system level designers in the next decade. The performance of IC ...
In recent years, processor manufacturers have converged on two types of register file architectures. Both IBM with its POWER series and Intel with its Pentium series are using a ...
