To produce quality software and evolve them in an economic and timely fashion, enactable software process models are used for regulating development activities with the support of ...
Current software development methodologies (such as agile and RUP) are largely management-centred, macro-process life-cycle models. While they may include some fine-grained micro-p...

Semiconductor transient faults (i.e. soft errors) have become an increasingly important threat to microprocessor reliability. Simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) architectures exploi...
The ongoing trend of increasing computer hardware and software complexity has resulted in the increase in complexity and overheads of cycle-accurate processor system simulation, e...

Recent research advocates address-correlating predictors to identify cache block addresses for prefetch. Unfortunately, address-correlating predictors require correlation data sto...
This paper proposes the use of microprocessor performance counters for online measurement of complete system power consumption. While past studies have demonstrated the use of per...
Virtualization is an essential technology in modern datacenters. Despite advantages such as security isolation, fault isolation, and environment isolation, current virtualization ...
