Abstract— Network processing is becoming an increasingly important paradigm as the Internet moves towards an architecture with more complex functionality inside the network. Mode...
Despite their superior performance for multimedia applications, vector processors have three limitations that hinder their widespread acceptance. First, the complexity and size of...
Recent research on processor microarchitecture suggests using instruction criticality as a metric to guide hardware control policies. Fields et al. [3, 4] have proposed a directed...
The Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB) is a very important part in the hardware support for virtual memory management implementation of high performance embedded systems. The TLB...
Performance of applications can be boosted by executing application-specific Instruction Set Extensions (ISEs) on a specialized hardware coupled with a processor core. Many commer...
