Web cache replacement algorithms have received a lot of attention during the past years. Though none of the proposed algorithms deals efficiently with all the particularities of t...
Energy, power, and area efficiency are critical design concerns for embedded processors. Much of the energy of a typical embedded processor is consumed in the front-end since inst...
In deep submicron circuits, elevation in temperatures has brought new challenges in reliability, timing, performance, cooling costs and leakage power. Conventional thermal managem...
It is common to evaluate scheduling policies based on their mean response times. Another important, but sometimes opposing, performance metric is a scheduling policy’s fairness....
In the past, a priori interconnect prediction, based on Rent’s rule, has been applied mainly for technology evaluation and roadmap applications. These applications do not requir...
