The current paradigm of using Cu interconnects for on-chip global communication is rapidly becoming a serious performance bottleneck in ultra-deep submicron (UDSM) technologies. C...
In the past decade, processor speed has become significantly faster than memory speed. Small, fast cache memories are designed to overcome this discrepancy, but they are only effe...
Multimedia vector instruction sets are becoming ubiquitous in most of the embedded systems used for multimedia, networking and communications. However, current compiler technology...
As distributed applications such as Grid and enterprise systems scale up and become increasingly complex, their authorization infrastructures—based predominantly on the request-...
Even in the current computer age, there are still many important application areas, such as early architectural design, where traditional tools like sketching on paper continue to...
