Dual-execution/checkpointing based transient error tolerance techniques have been widely used in the high-end mission critical systems. These techniques, however, are not very att...
We present the key ideas in the design and implementation of Beaver, an SMT solver for quantifier-free finite-precision bit-vector logic (QF BV). Beaver uses an eager approach, enc...
This paper presents a new method for branch prediction. The key idea is to use one of the simplest possible neural networks, the perceptron as an alternative to the commonly used ...
The cache hierarchy of state-of-the-art—especially multicore—microprocessors consumes a significant amount of area and energy. A significant amount of research has been devo...
Closed formed expressions for buffered interconnect delay approximation have been around for some time. However, previous approaches assume that buffers are free to be placed anyw...
