Register file (RF) is extremely vulnerable to soft errors, and traditional redundancy based schemes to protect the RF are prohibitive not only because RF is often in the timing c...
The performance impact of the Physical Register File (PRF) size on Simultaneous Multithreading processors has not been extensively studied in spite of being a critical shared reso...
Application-Specific Instruction-set Processors (ASIP) can improve execution speed by using custom instructions. Several ASIP design automation flows have been proposed recently. ...
