In this paper, the impact of timing a setup operation on the work-in-process and cycle time is investigated. Using a small example of an reentrant production system, it is shown t...

Semiconductor wafer fabrication facilities (wafer fabs) are among the most complex production facilities. A large product variety, hundreds of processing steps per product, hundre...
A large software project may be distributed over multiple sites when the organization believes that there are not enough people to staff a single collocated team. However, previou...
We present the design of a high performance on-chip pipelined asynchronous DRAM suitable for use in a microprocessor cache. Although traditional DRAM structures suffer from long a...
— Architectural resources and program recurrences are the main limitations to the amount of Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP) exploitable from loops, the most time-consuming pa...
This paper presents a mutation-based evolutionary algorithm that evolves genotypic genes for regulating developmental timing of phenotypic values. The genotype sequentially genera...
Clustered machines partition hardware resources to circumvent the cycle time penalties incurred by large, monolithic structures. This partitioning introduces a long inter-cluster ...
We introduce the midlifekicker metric for evaluating microarchitectures mostly during the design process. We assume a microarchitecture designed at a time T-1 and estimate if a ne...

Conventionally, microarchitecture designs are mainly guided by the maximum throughput (measured as IPC) and fail to evaluate the impact of architectural decisions on the physical ...
