We have fabricated a Chip Multiprocessor prototype code-named Merlot to proof our novel speculative multithreading architecture. On Merlot, multiple threads provide wider issue wi...
In Deep Sub-Micron (DSM) designs, performance will depend critically on the latency of long wires. We propose a new synthesis methodology for synchronous systems that makes the de...

Correctness is a paramount attribute of any microprocessor design; however, without novel technologies to tame the increasing complexity of design verification, the amount of bugs...
— Workload design is a well recognized problem in the domain of microprocessor design. Different program characteristics that influence the selection of a representative workloa...
