A major trend in a modern system-on-chip design is a growing system complexity, which results in a sharp increase of communication traffic on the on-chip communication bus architec...
The impact of pipeline length on the performance of a microprocessor is explored both theoretically and by simulation. An analytical theory is presented that shows two opposing ar...
Many parallel systems offer a simple view of memory: all storage cells are addresseduniformly. Despite a uniform view of the memory, the machines differsignificantly in theirmemo...
We present an active switch architecture to improve the performance of systems connected via system area networks. Our programmable active switches not only flexibly route packets...
Graphics and media processing is quickly emerging to become one of the key computing workloads. Programmable graphics processors give designers extra flexibility by running a sma...
