This paper describes our early experiences with a preproduction Cray XMT system that implements a scalable shared memory architecture with hardware support for multithreading. Unl...
—High-frequency circuits are notoriously difficult to lay out because of the tight coupling between device-level placement and wiring. Given that successful electrical performan...
The H.264/AVC video encoder standard significantly improves the compression efficiency by using variable block-sized Inter (P) and Intra (I) Macroblock (MB) coding modes. In this p...
Internet traffic is bursty and network servers are often overloaded with surprising events or abnormal client request patterns. This paper studies a load shedding mechanism called...
The register file is one of the most critical datapath components limiting the number of threads that can be supported on a Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processor. To allow t...
