The SGI Origin 2000 is a cache-coherent non-uniform memory access (ccNUMA) multiprocessor designed and manufactured by Silicon Graphics, Inc. The Origin system was designed from t...
—The number of CPUs in chip multiprocessors is growing at the Moore’s Law rate, due to continued technology advances. However, new technologies pose serious reliability challen...
Today, VLSI systems for computationally demanding applications are being built as Systems-on-Chip (SoCs) with a distributed memory sub-system which is shared by a large number of ...
Multimedia interfaces increase the need for large image databases, capable of storing and reading streams of data with strict synchronicity and isochronicity requirements. In orde...
