—Current micro-architecture blindly uses the address in the program counter to fetch and execute instructions without validating its legitimacy. Whenever this blind-folded instru...
Many embedded processors use highly associative data caches implemented using a CAM-based tag search. When high-associativity is desirable, CAM designs can offer performance advan...
Subword parallelism has succeeded in accelerating many multimedia applications. Subword permutation instructions have been proposed to efficiently rearrange subwords in or among r...
This paper presents NoSQ (short for No Store Queue), a microarchitecture that performs store-load communication without a store queue and without executing stores in the outof-ord...
As the performance of Analog-to-Digital Converters continues to improve, it is becoming more challenging and costly to develop sufficiently fast and low-drift signal generators th...
