Signed conjunctive normal form (signed CNF) is a classical conjunctive clause form using a generalized notion of literal, called signed atom. A signed atom is an expression of the...
For many applications, branch mispredictions and cache misses limit a processor’s performance to a level well below its peak instruction throughput. A small fraction of static i...
Reconfigurable hardware has the potential for significant performance improvements by providing support for application−specific operations. We report our experience with Chimae...

While architects understandhow to build cost-effective parallel machines across a wide spectrum of machine sizes (ranging from within a single chip to large-scale servers), the re...

The bandwidth and latency of a memory system are strongly dependent on the manner in which accesses interact with the “3-D” structure of banks, rows, and columns characteristi...

Smaller feature sizes, reduced voltage levels, higher transistor counts, and reduced noise margins make future generations of microprocessors increasingly prone to transient hardw...
As microprocessors continue to evolve, many optimizations reach a point of diminishing returns. We introduce HLS, a hybrid processor simulator which uses statistical models and sy...
