We propose a series of aggressive register deallocation mechanisms to reduce the register file pressure and increase the parallelism exploited by superscalar microprocessors. Our ...

Increasing power dissipation has become a major constraint for future performance gains in the design of microprocessors. In this paper, we present the circuit design of an issue ...

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a well known and effective technique for reducing power consumption in modern microprocessors. An important concern though is to est...
We describe a technique for verifying that a hardware design correctly implements a protocol-level formal specification. Simulation steps are translated to protocol state transiti...
We propose a normalization technique for verifying arithmetic circuits in a bounded model checking environment. Our technique operates on the arithmetic bit level (ABL) descriptio...
