Today's customizable processors allow the designer to augment the base processor with custom accelerators. By choosing appropriate set of accelerators, designer can significa...
A thread executing on a simultaneous multithreading (SMT) processor that experiences a long-latency load will eventually stall while holding execution resources. Existing long-lat...
Abstract— The continuing divergence of processor and memory speeds has led to the increasing reliance on larger caches which have become major consumers of area and power in embe...
Temperature is a dominant factor in the performance, reliability, and leakage power consumption of modern processors. As a result, increasing numbers of researchers evaluate therm...
