As superscalar processors become increasingly wide, it is inevitable that the large set of instructions to be fetched every cycle will span multiple noncontiguous basic blocks. Th...
As the process technology advances into the deep submicron era, interconnect plays a dominant role in determining circuit performance and signal integrity. Buffer insertion is one...
This paper presents a new four-limbed robot, LEMUR IIb (Legged Excursion Mechanical Utility Rover), that can free-climb vertical rock surfaces. This robot was designed to have a nu...
