Although there are various ways to exploit software vulnerabilities for malicious attacks, the attacks always result in unexpected behavior in program execution, deviating from wh...
Microprocessor technology is increasingly used for many applications; the large market volumes call for cost containment in the production phase. Process yield for processor produ...
Many commercially available embedded processors are capable of extending their base instruction set for a specific domain of applications. While steady progress has been made in t...
Branch prediction has enabled microprocessors to increase instruction level parallelism (ILP) by allowing programs to speculatively execute beyond control boundaries. Although spe...
Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) processors are becoming popular because they exploit both instruction-level and threadlevel parallelism by issuing instructions from different t...
