Under current worst-case design practices, manufacturers specify conservative values for processor frequencies in order to guarantee correctness. To recover some of the lost perfo...
Programmable logic cores (PLCs) offer a means of providing post-fabrication re-configurability to a SoC design. Circuits implemented in a PLC will inevitably have lower timing per...
Motivated by the increasing area and performance overhead caused by wrapping the embedded cores for modular SOC testing, this paper proposes a solution for reducing the number of ...
DRAM systems achieve high performance when all DRAM banks are busy servicing useful memory requests. The degree to which DRAM banks are busy is called DRAM Bank-Level Parallelism ...
Multicore processors have become ubiquitous in today’s systems, but exploiting the parallelism they offer remains difficult, especially for legacy application and applications ...
