With increasing chip densities, future microprocessor designs have the opportunity to integrate many of the traditional systemlevel modules onto the same chip as the processor. So...
As the ever-increasing gap between the speed of processor and the speed of memory has become the cause of one of primary bottlenecks of computer systems, modern architecture system...
A traditional fixed-function graphics accelerator has evolved into a programmable general-purpose graphics processing unit over the last few years. These powerful computing cores...
The SGI Origin 2000 is designedto support a wide range of applications and has low local and remote memory latencies. However, it often has a high ratio of remote to local misses....
Design of programmable processors and embedded applications requires instruction-set simulators for early exploration and validation of candidate architectures. Interpretive simul...
