As technology scales, more sophisticated fabrication processes cause variations in many different parameters in the device. These variations could severely affect the performance o...
Many embedded processors use highly associative data caches implemented using a CAM-based tag search. When high-associativity is desirable, CAM designs can offer performance advan...
Increasingly tight energy design goals require processor architects to rethink the organizational structure of microarchitectural resources. In this paper, we examine a new multila...
Today, mobile smartphones are expected to be able to run the same complex, algorithm-heavy, memory-intensive applications that were originally designed and coded for generalpurpos...
