Chip multiprocessors hold great promise for achieving scalability in future systems. Microthreaded chip multiprocessors add a means of exploiting legacy code in such systems. Usin...
The amount of charge stored in an SRAM cell shrinks rapidly with each technology generation thus increasingly exposing caches to soft errors. Benchmarking the FIT rate of caches d...
The path-delay fault simulation of functional tests on complex circuits such as current processor-based systems is a daunting task. The amount of computing power and memory needed...
