As the number of devices available per chip continues to increase, the computational potential of future computer architectures grows likewise. While this is a clear benefit for f...
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 ...
Abstract— This paper presents ICS-AVOID, a collision avoidance scheme based upon the concept of Inevitable Collision State (ICS), ie a state for which, no matter what the future ...
Abstract—It is often claimed that future systems will necessarily be all-optical, because electronic devices are not fast enough to keep up with the increase in fiber capacity. ...
Conducting controlled experiments about programming activities often requires the use of multiple tasks of similar difficulty. In previously reported work about a controlled exper...
