This paper introduces dynamic self-invalidation (DSI), a new technique for reducing cache coherence overhead in shared-memory multiprocessors. DSI eliminates invalidation messages...
Two-level predictors deliver highly accurate conditional branch prediction, indirect branch target prediction and value prediction. Accurate prediction enables speculative executio...
Recent research has shown that programs often exhibit value locality. Such locality occurs when a code segment, although executed repeatedly in the program, takes only a small num...
Recently a deterministic built-in self-test scheme has been presented based on reseeding of multiple-polynomial linear feedback shift registers. This scheme encodes deterministic ...
Byte-code based languages are slowly becoming adopted in embedded domains because of improved security and portability. Another potential reason for their adoption is the reputati...
