Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) processors are becoming popular because they exploit both instruction-level and threadlevel parallelism by issuing instructions from different t...
Abstract. Previously published methods for estimation of the worstcase execution time on contemporary processors with complex pipelines and multi-level memory hierarchies result in...
As chip densities and clock rates increase, processors are becoming more susceptible to transient faults that can affect program correctness. Computer architects have typically ad...
ct This paper describes a general technique to test external memory/caches and memory interconnects using on-chip logic. Such a test methodology is expected to significantly reduc...
