Wire delays are a major concern for current and forthcoming processors. One approach to attack this problem is to divide the processor into semi-independent units referred to as c...
Reconfigurable Processors utilize a reconfigurable fabric (to implement application-specific accelerators) and may perform runtime reconfigurations to exchange the set of deployed...
The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the average memory access latency. Improving the cache hit rate can have significant positive impact on the per...
Modern microprocessor designs continue to obtain impressive performance gains through increasing clock rates and advances in the parallelism obtained via micro-architecture design...
