Increasing non-recurring engineering (NRE) and mask costs are making it harder to turn to hardwired Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) solutions for high performance a...
The on-chip communication architecture is a major determinant of overall performance in complex System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. Since the communication requirements of SoC components...
Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) is a technology aimed at improving the throughput of the processor core by applying Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) and Thread Level Parallel...
As we enter the era of petascale computing, system architects must plan for machines composed of tens or even hundreds of thousands of processors. Although fully connected network...
