One of the major issues faced by the semiconductor industry today is that of reducing chip yields. As the process technologies have scaled to smaller feature sizes, chip yields ha...
: This paper presents an evaluation of our Scheduled Dataflow (SDF) Processor. Recent focus in the field of new processor architectures is mainly on VLIW (e.g. IA-64), superscalar ...
Conventional cache models are not suited for real-time parallel processing because tasks may flush each other’s data out of the cache in an unpredictable manner. In this way th...
