As superscalar processors become increasingly wide, it is inevitable that the large set of instructions to be fetched every cycle will span multiple noncontiguous basic blocks. Th...
Application-specific processor design is a promising approach for meeting the performance and cost goals of a system. Application-specific processors are especially promising for ...
This paper presents a new register assignment heuristic for procedures in SSA Form, whose interference graphs are chordal; the heuristic is called optimistic chordal coloring (OCC...
In this paper we attempt to answer two questions: (1) Why should we be interested in the security of control systems? And (2) What are the new and fundamentally different requirem...
In addition to real-time requirements, the program code size is a critical design factor for real-time embedded systems. To take advantage of the code size vs. execution time trad...
