3D integration technology greatly increases transistor density while providing faster on-chip communication. 3D implementations of processors can simultaneously provide both laten...
Register file (RF) is extremely vulnerable to soft errors, and traditional redundancy based schemes to protect the RF are prohibitive not only because RF is often in the timing c...
—Highways are an essential component of our society because they are critical to quality of life and to local and national economies. Under good conditions, highways provide a sa...

The performance impact of the Physical Register File (PRF) size on Simultaneous Multithreading processors has not been extensively studied in spite of being a critical shared reso...
Level one cache normally resides on a processor’s critical path, which determines the clock frequency. Directmapped caches exhibit fast access time but poor hit rates compared w...
