Program code in a computer system can be altered either by malicious security attacks or by various faults in microprocessors. At the instruction level, all code modifications are ...
Simulation-based validation of the current industrial processors typically use huge number of test programs generated at instruction set architecture (ISA) level. However, archite...
Within two or three technology generations, processor architects will face a number of major challenges. Wire delays will become critical, and power considerations will temper the ...
Three dimensional (3D) graphics applications have become very important workloads running on today's computer systems. A cost-effective graphics solution is to perform geomet...
In this paper, we examine the trade-offs in performance and area due to customizing the datapath and instruction set architecture of a soft VLIW processor implemented in a high-den...
