Datapath design is one of the most critical elements in the design of a high performance microprocessor. However datapath design is typically done manually, and is often custom st...
The verification of modern computing systems has grown to dominate the cost of system design, often with limited success as designs continue to be released with latent bugs. This t...
: Static energy dissipation in cache memories will constitute an increasingly larger portion of total microprocessor energy dissipation due to nanoscale technology characteristics ...
The challenge of verifying a modern microprocessor design is an overwhelming one: Increasingly complex micro-architectures combined with heavy time-to-market pressure have forced ...
Program runtime characteristics exhibit significant variation. As microprocessor architectures become more complex, their efficiency depends on the capability of adapting with wor...
