We introduce virtually-pipelined memory, an architectural technique that efficiently supports high-bandwidth, uniform latency memory accesses, and high-confidence throughput eve...
Current GPUs perform a significant amount of redundant shading when surfaces are tessellated into small triangles. We address this inefficiency by augmenting the GPU pipeline to...

As soft processors are increasingly used in diverse applications, there is a need to evolve their microarchitectures in a way that suits the FPGA implementation substrate. This pa...
Abstract— Design variability due to within-die and die-todie process variations has the potential to significantly reduce the maximum operating frequency and the effective yield...
The register file access time is one of the critical delays in current superscalar processors. Its impact on processor performance is likely to increase in future processor genera...
