Abstract. The design of embedded processors demands a careful tradeoff between many conflicting objectives such as performance, silicon area and power consumption. Finding such a t...
Mispredicted branches and loads that miss in the cache cause the majority of retirement stalls experienced by sequential processors; we call these critical instructions. Despite t...
Of late, there has been a considerable interest in models, algorithms and methodologies specifically targeted towards designing hardware and software for streaming applications. ...
Increased power densities (and resultant temperatures) and other effects of device scaling are predicted to cause significant lifetime reliability problems in the near future. In...
