Synchronous dataflow (SDF) has been successfully used in design tools for system-level simulation of wireless communication systems. Modern wireless communication standards involv...
Mispredicted branches and loads that miss in the cache cause the majority of retirement stalls experienced by sequential processors; we call these critical instructions. Despite t...
With the right techniques, multicore architectures may be able to continue the exponential performance trend that elevated the performance of applications of all types for decades...
