We propose and evaluate the use of lazy error detection for a superscalar, out-of-order microprocessor’s functional units. The key insight is that error detection is off the cri...

Extracting appropriate custom instructions is an important phase for implementing an application on an extensible processor with a reconfigurable functional unit (RFU). Custom inst...
In this paper we describe a design exploration methodology for clustered VLIW architectures. The central idea of this work is a set of three techniques aimed at reducing the cost ...

This paper explores a novel way to incorporate hardware-programmable resources into a processor microarchitecture to improve the performance of general-purpose applications. Throu...
Technology scaling has resulted in an exponential increase in the leakage power as well as the variations in leakage power of fabricated chips. Functional units (FUs), like Intege...
