This paper describes the challenges presented by singlechip parallel media processors (PMPs). These machines integrate multiple parallel function units, instruction execution, and...
We explore the phenomena of subjective randomness as a case study in understanding how people discover structure embedded in noise. We present a rational account of randomness per...
The use of Application Specific Instruction-set Processors (ASIP) in embedded systems is a solution to the problem of increasing complexity in the functions these systems have to ...

In chip-multiprocessors (CMPs), the number of cores and the issue width of each core presents an important design trade-off to balance the amount of TLP and ILP between multi-thre...
Exception handling is a powerful abstraction that can be used to help manage errors and support the construction of reliable operating systems. Using exceptions to notify system co...
