This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
We present an efficient and accurate gate sizing tool that employs a novel piecewise convex delay model, handling both rise and fall delays, for static CMOS gates. The delay model...
Recent research shows that the high occupancy of Coherence Controllers (CCs) is a major performance bottleneck in scalable shared-memory multiprocessors. In this paper, we propose...
Background: BLAST is a widely used genetic research tool for analysis of similarity between nucleotide and protein sequences. This paper presents a software application entitled &...
The design and implementation of a double precision floating-point IEEE-754 standard adder is described which uses "flagged prefix addition" to merge rounding with the s...
