Indirect jump instructions are used to implement increasinglycommon programming constructs such as virtual function calls, switch-case statements, jump tables, and interface calls...
This paper describes a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) technique for MPEG decoding to reduce the energy consumption using the computational workload decomposition. Th...
Integrating processors and main memory is a promising approach to increase system performance. Such integration provides very high memory bandwidth that can be exploited efficientl...
Performance evaluation using only a subset of programs from a benchmark suite is commonplace in computer architecture research. This is especially true during early design space e...
