Introducing enterprise information systems (EIS) is usually associated with high costs. It is therefore crucial to understand those factors that determine or influence these costs....
This paper addresses the problem of computational error modeling and analysis. Choosing different word-lengths for each functional unit in hardware implementations of numerical al...
Although the best processor design for executing a specific workload does depend on the characteristics of the workload, it can not be determined without factoring-in the effect o...
Since processor performance scalability will now mostly be achieved through thread-level parallelism, there is a strong incentive to parallelize a broad range of applications, inc...
Due to fundamental physical limitations and power constraints, we are witnessing a radical change in commodity microprocessor architectures to multicore designs. Continued perform...
