Functional correctness is a vital attribute of any hardware design. Unfortunately, due to extremely complex architectures, widespread components, such as microprocessors, are often...
Emulation is the process of exactly imitating a real system. Recent advances in simulation technology make it possible to emulate real world control systems by using a system'...
This paper presents a concurrent error detection technique for the control logic of a modern microprocessor. Our method is based on execution time prediction for each instruction ...
Parallel processing networks, even full crossbars, that only implement point-to-point and multicast message passing are inefficient for collective communications because multiple ...
Much attention has been directed to different aspects of the design of pipelines [1,2,3,4]. Design of the control logic of non-linear pipelines has however, been considered as a su...
While Moore’s Law predicts the ability of semi-conductor industry to engineer smaller and more efficient transistors and circuits, there are serious issues not contemplated in t...
