Computational complexity has been the primary challenge of many VLSI CAD applications. The emerging multicore and manycore microprocessors have the potential to offer scalable perf...
In this paper, we present an NoC (Networks-on-Chip) router with an SDRAM-aware flow control. Based on a priority-based arbitration, it schedules packets to improve memory utilizat...
? In this paper we propose an adaptive scheduling and voltage/frequency selection algorithm which targets at energy harvesting systems. The proposed algorithm adjusts the processor...
State-of-the-art integral-equation-based solvers rely on techniques that can perform a matrix-vector multiplication in O(N) complexity. In this work, a fast inverse of linear comp...
This paper introduces a new unobtrusive and cost-effective method for the capture and compression of program execution traces in real-time, which is based on a double move-to-fron...
Caches are notorious for their unpredictability. It is difficult or even impossible to predict if a memory access will result in a definite cache hit or miss. This unpredictabilit...
Current compilers lack precise timing models guiding their built-in optimizations. Hence, compilers apply ad-hoc heuristics during optimization to improve code quality. One of the...
In this paper, we compare embedded-DRAM (eDRAM) testing to both SRAM testing and commodity-DRAM testing, since an eDRAM macro uses DRAM cells with an SRAM interface. We first star...
The discrepancy between integrated circuits' activities in normal functional mode and that in structural test mode has an increasing adverse impact on the effectiveness of ma...
Within-die variation in leakage power consumption is substantial and increasing for chip-level multiprocessors (CMPs) and multiprocessor systems-on-chip. Dealing with this problem...
