We develop two simple interval-based models for dynamic superscalar processors. These models allow us to: i) predict with great accuracy performance and power consumption under va...
Power supply noise increases the circuit delay, which may lead to performance failure of a design. Decoupling capacitance (decap) addition is effective in reducing the power suppl...
A popular approach to guarantee fault tolerance in safety-critical applications is to run the application on two processors. A checkpoint is inserted at the completion of the prim...
As the IC process technology scales, the oxide thickness and operating voltage continues to decrease. The gate oxide thickness in recent and future IC process technology has appro...
– Communication overhead is one of the dominant factors that affect performance in high-performance computing systems. To reduce the negative impact of communication, programmers...
