Irreversible computation necessarily results in energy dissipation due to information loss. While small in comparison to the power consumption of today’s VLSI circuits, if curre...
The power consumption of a sequential circuit can be reduced by decomposing it into subcircuits which can be turned off when inactive. Power can also be reduced by careful state e...
We compile Nova, a new language designed for writing network processing applications, using a back end based on integer-linear programming (ILP) for register allocation, optimal b...
—The ever-increasing computational power of contemporary microprocessors reduces the execution time spent on arithmetic computations (i.e., the computations not involving slow me...
Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architectures exploit instruction level parallelism (ILP) with the help of the compiler to achieve higher instruction throughput with minimal hard...
