The design and implementation of a double precision floating-point IEEE-754 standard adder is described which uses "flagged prefix addition" to merge rounding with the s...

Superscalar microprocessor efficiency is generally not as high as anticipated. In fact, sustained utilization below thirty percent of peak is not uncommon, even for fully optimized...
Control intensive scalar programs pose a very different challenge to highly pipelined supercomputers than vectorizable numeric applications. Function call/return and branch instru...
Software-based, fine-grain control flow integrity (CFI) validation technique has been proposed to enforce control flow integrity of program execution. By validating every indirect...
Abstract. XML query processors suffer from main-memory limitations that prevent them from processing large XML documents. While content-based predicates can be used to project down...
