Symmetric-key block ciphers encrypt data, providing data confidentiality over the public Internet. For inter-operability reasons, it is desirable to support a variety of symmetric...
The increasing transient fault rate will necessitate onchip fault tolerance techniques in future processors. The speed gap between the processor and the memory is also increasing,...
While shrinking geometries of embedded LSI devices is beneficial for portable intelligent systems, it is increasingly susceptible to influences from electrical noise, process vari...
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) improves processor throughput by processing instructions from multiple threads each cycle. This is the first work to explore soft real-time sche...
