Computer systems have become powerful enough to process continuous data streams such as video or animated graphics. While processing power and communication bandwidth of today...
Multithreaded architectures context switch between instruction streams to hide memory access latency. Although this improves processor utilization, it can increase cache interfere...
A quantitative analysis of program execution is essential to the computer architecture design process. With the current trend in architecture of enhancing the performance of unipr...
Synchronous data-flow languages such as Scade/Lustre manage infinite sequences, or streams, as primitive values making them naturally adapted to the description of datadominated s...
Abstract. Existing variable-length instruction formats provide higher code densities than fixed-length formats, but are ill-suited to pipelined or parallel instruction fetch and de...
