As microprocessors continue to evolve, many optimizations reach a point of diminishing returns. We introduce HLS, a hybrid processor simulator which uses statistical models and sy...
We investigate trade-offs in microprocessor frequency and system power achievable for low temperature operation in scaled high leakage technologies by combining refrigeration with...

This paper presents a technique for high-level power estimation of microprocessors. The technique, which is based on abstract execution profiles called ’event signatures’, op...
Future high performance microprocessor design with technology scaling beyond 90nm will pose two major challenges: (1) energy and power, and (2) parameter variations. Design practi...
As microprocessors become increasingly complex, the techniques used to analyze and predict their behavior must become increasingly rigorous. This paper applies wavelet analysis te...
