Each semiconductor technology generation brings us closer to the imminent processor architecture heat wall, with all its associated adverse effects on system performance and reliab...
Sophisticated middlebox services–such as network monitoring and intrusion detection, DDoS mitigation, worm scanning, XML parsing and protocol transformation–are becoming incre...
Growing concerns about power have revived interest in in-order pipelines. In-order pipelines sacrifice single-thread performance. Specifically, they do not allow execution to flow...
An architecture for a reconfigurable superscalar processor is described in which some of its execution units are implemented in reconfigurable hardware. The overall configuration ...
Even after carefully tuning the memory characteristics to the application properties and the processor speed, during the execution of real applications there are times when the pr...
