Code placement techniques have traditionally improved instruction fetch bandwidth by increasing instruction locality and decreasing the number of taken branches. However, traditio...
Back-in-time debuggers are extremely useful tools for identifying the causes of bugs. Unfortunately the "omniscient" approaches that try to remember all previous states a...
Recent studies have suggested that the soft-error rate in microprocessor logic will become a reliability concern by 2010. This paper proposes an efficient error detection techniqu...
