The major chip manufacturers have all introduced chip multiprocessing (CMP) and simultaneous multithreading (SMT) technology into their processing units. As a result, even low-end...
An increasingly large portion of scheduler latency is derived from the monolithic content addressable memory (CAM) arrays accessed during instruction wakeup. The performance of th...
Abstract—H.264/AVC is the latest video coding standard. It significantly outperforms the previous video coding standards, but the extraordinary huge computation complexity and m...
The execution time of a large query depends mainly on the memory utilization which should avoid disk accesses for intermediate results. Poor memory management can hurt performance ...
The number of functional errors escaping design verification and being released into final silicon is growing, due to the increasing complexity and shrinking production schedules ...
