In this paper, we propose Runahead Threads (RaT) as a valuable solution for both reducing resource contention and exploiting memory-level parallelism in Simultaneous Multithreaded...
If current technology scaling trends hold, leakage power dissipation will soon become the dominant source of power consumption in high performance processors. Caches, due to the f...
In deep sub-micron technology, the crosstalk effect between adjacent wires has become an important issue, especially between long on-chip buses. This effect leads to the increas...
We present the TM3270 media-processor, the latest TriMedia VLIW processor, tuned to address the performance demands of standard definition video processing, combined with embedded...

The increasing transient fault rate will necessitate onchip fault tolerance techniques in future processors. The speed gap between the processor and the memory is also increasing,...
