As gate delays decrease faster than wire delays for each technology generation, buffer insertion becomes a popular method to reduce the interconnect delay. Several modern buffer in...
There exist many application classes for which the users have significant flexibility in the quality of output they desire. At the same time, there are other constraints, such a...
Many backtracking algorithms exhibit heavy-tailed distributions, in which their running time is often much longer than their median. We analyze the behavior of two natural variant...
It is advantageous to perform compiler optimizations that attempt to lower the worst-case execution time (WCET) of an embedded application since tasks with lower WCETs are easier ...

The use of caches poses a difficult tradeoff for architects of real-time systems. While caches provide significant performance advantages, they have also been viewed as inherently...
