On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...
Recent studies on value locality reveal that many instructions are frequently executed with a small variety of inputs. This paper proposes an approach that integrates architecture...
This paper proposes a new architecture for efficient variable-length decoding (VLD) of entropy-coded data for multimedia applications on general-purpose processors. It improves o...
Coarse-grained reconfigurable architectures (CGRAs) present an appealing hardware platform by providing programmability with the potential for high computation throughput, scalab...
Cache memories account for a significant fraction of a chip's overall energy dissipation. Recent research advocates using "resizable" caches to exploit cache requir...
