Large scale compute clusters continue to grow to ever-increasing proportions. However, as clusters and applications continue to grow, the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) has redu...
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...
Shrinking time-to-market and high demand for productivity has driven traditional hardware designers to use design methodologies that start from high-level languages. However, meet...
Portable embedded systems are being driven by consumer demands to be thermally efficient, perform faster, and have longer battery life. To design such a system, various hardware un...
Untolerated load instruction latencies often have a significant impact on overall program performance. As one means of mitigating this effect, we present an aggressive hardware-b...
