With advances in semiconductor technology, processors are becoming larger and more complex. Future processor designers will face an enormous design space, and must evaluate more a...
Pervasive networks with low-cost embedded 8-bit processors are set to change our day-to-day life. Public-key cryptography provides crucial functionality to assure security which is...
Clustering is a common technique to overcome the wire delay problem incurred by the evolution of technology. Fully-distributed architectures, where the register file, the functio...
The determinism of instruction cache performance can be considered a major problem in multi-media devices which hope to maximise their quality of service. If instructions are evic...
This paper explores the scalability of the Stream Processor architecture along the instruction-, data-, and thread-level parallelism dimensions. We develop detailed VLSI-cost and ...
