The demand for high performance has driven acyclic computation accelerators into extensive use in modern embedded and desktop architectures. Accelerators that are ideal from a sof...
Two of the most important design issues for modern processors are power and performance. It is important for students in computer organization classes to understand the tradeoff b...
Spatially-tiled architectures, such as Coarse-Grained Reconfigurable Arrays (CGRAs), are powerful architectures for accelerating applications in the digital-signal processing, em...
