The Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) of a programmable processor is the native languageof the machine. It defines the set of operations and resourcesthat are optimized for that ...
As the performance gap between the CPU and main memory continues to grow, techniques to hide memory latency are essential to deliver a high performance computer system. Prefetchin...
Is there such a thing anymore as a software system that doesn't need to be secure? Almost every softwarecontrolled system faces threats from potential adversaries, from Inter...
Abstract. We reexamine the limits of parallelism available in programs, using runtime reconstruction of program data-flow graphs. While limits of parallelism have been examined in...
Effective system verification requires good specifications. The lack of sufficient specifications can lead to misses of critical bugs, design re-spins, and time-to-market slips. I...
