Recent progress on nanodevices, such as carbon nanotubes and nanowires, points to promising directions for future circuit design. However, nanofabrication techniques are not yet m...
We describe an effort to prototype an Itanium microarchitecture using an FPGA. The microarchitecture model is written in the Bluespec hardware description language (HDL) and suppo...
The Instruction Register File (IRF) is an architectural extension for providing improved access to frequently occurring instructions. An optimizing compiler can exploit an IRF by ...

— A novel wave-pipelined global interconnect system is developed for reliable, high throughput, on-chip data communication. We argue that because there is only a single signal pr...
— The communication sub-system of complex IC systems is increasingly critical for achieving system performance. Given this, it is important that the on-chip communication archite...
