Abstract. While the fetch unit has been identified as one of the major bottlenecks of Simultaneous Multithreading architecture, several fetch schemes were proposed by prior works t...
As device sizes continue shrinking, lower charges are needed to activate gates, and consequently ever smaller external events (such as single ionizing particles of naturally occurr...
In the context of general-purpose processing, an increasing number of diverse functional units are added to cover a wide spectrum of applications. However, it is still possible to ...
We examine secure computing paradigms to identify any new architectural challenges for future general-purpose processors. Some essential security functions can be provided by diffe...
