— Program code size has become a critical design constraint of embedded systems. Large program codes require large memories, which increase the size and cost of the chip. Poor co...

Abstract. Branch predictors are associated with critical design issues for nowadays instruction greedy processors. We study two important domains where the optimization of decision...

Now that multicore microprocessors have become a commodity, it is natural to think about employing them in all kinds of computing, including high-reliability embedded real-time sy...
The multicluster architecture that we introduce offers a decentralized, dynamically-scheduled architecture, in which the register files, dispatch queue, and functional units of t...

Multithreaded architectures context switch between instruction streams to hide memory access latency. Although this improves processor utilization, it can increase cache interfere...
