: Due to exponential increase in subthreshold leakage with technology scaling and temperature increase, leakage power is becoming a major fraction of total power in the active mode...
Modern integrated circuits require careful attention to the soft-error rate (SER) resulting from bit upsets, which are normally caused by alpha particle or neutron hits. These eve...
Well-designed indices can dramatically improve query performance. Including query workload information can produce indices that yield better overall throughput while balancing the...
