Abstract—High-speed routers often use commodity, fully-associative, TCAMs (Ternary Content Addressable Memories) to perform packet classification and routing (IP lookup). We prop...
— Caches, block memories, predictors, state tables, and other forms of on-chip memory are continuing to consume a greater portion of processor designs with each passing year. Mak...
Tarantula is an aggressive floating point machine targeted at technical, scientific and bioinformatics workloads, originally planned as a follow-on candidate to the EV8 processo...

Meeting deadlines is a key requirement in safe realtime systems. Worst-case execution times (WCET) of tasks are needed for safe planning. Contemporary worst-case timing analysis t...
The register file access time is one of the critical delays in current superscalar processors. Its impact on processor performance is likely to increase in future processor genera...
