Memory-related activity is one of the major sources of energy consumption in embedded systems. Many types of memories used in embedded systems allow multiple operating modes (e.g....
Circuits using nano-meter technologies are becoming increasingly vulnerable to signal interference from multiple noise sources as well as radiation-induced soft errors. One way to...
Linked data structure (LDS) accesses are critical to the performance of many large scale applications. Techniques have been proposed to prefetch such accesses. Unfortunately, many...
Two trends are converging to make the CPU cost of a table scan a more important component of database performance. First, table scans are becoming a larger fraction of the query p...
