— During volume testing, test application time, test data volume and high performance automatic test equipment (ATE) are the major cost factors. Embedded testing including builti...
Abstract—Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) present a unique scenario for software data prefetching with subtle tradeoffs between memory bandwidth and performance. In a shared L2 based ...
—During post-silicon processor debugging, we need to frequently capture and dump out the internal state of the processor. Since internal state constitutes all memory elements, th...

Abstract—To deal with the “memory wall” problem, microprocessors include large secondary on-chip caches. But as these caches enlarge, they originate a new latency gap between...
—The sustained push for performance, transistor count, and instruction level parallelism has reached a point where chip level power density issues are at the forefront of design ...
- Parallel architectures have become an increasingly popular method in which to achieve high performance with low power consumption. In order to leverage these benefits, applicatio...
RTOS Simulation Henning Zabel, Wolfgang Mueller Universität Paderborn, C-LAB Fürstenallee 11, D-33102 Paderborn, Germany —Today, mobile and embedded real-time systems have to c...
—Due to increasing complexity of design interactions between the chip, package and PCB, it is essential to consider them at the same time. Specifically the finger/pad locations...
