An Application Specific Instruction Set Processor (ASIP) exploits special characteristics of the given application(s) to meet the desired performance, cost and power requirements....
Network line cards are experiencing ever increasing line rates, random data bursts, and limited space. Hence, they are more vulnerable than other processormemory environments, to ...
In this paper, we investigate the practical performance of lock-free techniques that provide synchronization on shared-memory multiprocessors. Our goal is to provide a technique t...
This paper evaluates how much extended dictionary-based code compression techniques can reduce the static code size. In their simplest form, such methods statically identify ident...
