Continued scaling of CMOS technology to smaller transistor sizes makes modern processors more susceptible to both transient and permanent hardware faults. Circuitlevel techniques ...
The performance tradeoff between hardware complexity and clock speed is studied. First, a generic superscalar pipeline is defined. Then the specific areas of register renaming, ...

Abstract. We propose CUSTARD — CUStomisable Threaded ARchitecture — a soft processor design space that combines support for multiple hardware threads and automatically generate...
This work considers the use of a n S M T (simultaneous multithreading) processor in lieu of the conventional processor(s) in a router and evaluates quantitatively the potential ga...
Recently, the number of cores on general-purpose processors has been increasing rapidly. Using conventional programming models, it is challenging to effectively exploit these core...
