General-purpose microprocessors augmented with SIMD execution units enhance multimedia applications by exploiting data level parallelism. However, supporting/overhead related inst...
Abstract-- Scaling the minimum feature size of VLSI circuits to sub-quarter micron and its clock frequency to 2GHz has caused crosstalk noise to become a serious problem, that degr...
Filter cache has been proposed as an energy saving architectural feature [9]. A filter cache is placed between the CPU and the instruction cache (I-cache) to provide the instruct...
Classical floorplanning minimizes a linear combination of area and wirelength. When Simulated Annealing is used, e.g., with the Sequence Pair representation, the typical choice o...
Parallel saturating multioperand adders significantly improve the performance of GSM speech coders by giving compilers and assembly language programmers the ability to paralleliz...
