In the near future, there will be increasingly powerful computers in smart cards, telephones, and other information appliances. This will create a massive infrastructure composed ...
High-performance microprocessors are currently designed to exploit the inherent instruction level parallelism (ILP) available in most applications. The techniques used in their de...
Until very recently, microprocessor designs were computation-centric. On-chip communication was frequently ignored. This was because of fast, single-cycle on-chip communication. T...
The growing adoption of reconfigurable architectures opens new implementation alternatives and creates new design challenges. In the case of dynamically reconfigurable architectur...
A good architecture is a necessary condition to guarantee that the expected levels of performance, availability, fault tolerance, and scalability are achieved by the implemented s...
