System-on-Chip design is an important new trend in the design of complex integrated circuits. The integration of a microprocessor, memory and peripherals onto a single die opens n...
Asynchronous logic design has been around for decades. However, only recently has it gained any commercial success. Research has focused on a wide variety of uses, from microproces...
The instruction queue is a critical component and performance bottleneck in superscalar microprocessors. Conventional designs use physical register identifiers to wake up instruct...
We present the design of a high performance on-chip pipelined asynchronous DRAM suitable for use in a microprocessor cache. Although traditional DRAM structures suffer from long a...
This paper proposes a non-uniform cache architecture for reducing the power consumption of memory systems. The nonuniform cache allows having different associativity values (i.e.,...
