Computer system designers often evaluate future design alternatives with detailed simulators that strive for functional fidelity (to execute relevant workloads) and performance fi...
ABSTRACT Motivated by data value locality and quality tolerance present in multimedia applications, we propose a new micro-architecture, Region-level Approximate Computation Buffer...
Aggressive compiler optimizations such as software pipelining and loop invariant code motion can significantly improve application performance, but these transformations often re...
