One of the main cost factors in software development is the detection and removal of defects. However, the relationships and influencing factors of the costs and revenues of defe...
This work examines dynamic cluster assignment for a clustered trace cache processor (CTCP). Previously proposed cluster assignment techniques run into unique problems as issue wid...
Conditional branch induced control hazards cause significant performance loss in modern out-of-order superscalar processors. Dynamic branch prediction techniques help alleviate th...
—Quantitative information-flow analysis (QIF) is an emerging technique for establishing information-theoretic confidentiality properties. Automation of QIF is an important step...
During initial program comprehension, software engineers could benefit from knowing the most need-to-beunderstood classes in the system under study in order to kick-start their s...
