We propose gate level statistical simulation to bridge the gap between the most accurate Monte Carlo SPICE simulation and the most efficient circuit level statistical static timi...
— Reconfigurable computing (RC) systems, coupling general purpose processor with reconfigurable components, offer a lot of advantages. Nevertheless, currently a designer needs ...

From multiprocessor scale-up to cache sizes to the number of reorder-buffer entries, microarchitects wish to reap the benefits of more computing resources while staying within po...

We propose signature-accelerated transactional memory (SigTM), a hybrid TM system that reduces the overhead of software transactions. SigTM uses hardware signatures to track the r...

Server consolidation is becoming an increasingly popular technique to manage and utilize systems. This paper develops CMP memory systems for server consolidation where most sharin...
With increasing speed and power density, high-performance memories, including FB-DIMM (Fully Buffered DIMM) and DDR2 DRAM, now begin to require dynamic thermal management (DTM) a...

There are two basic models for the on-chip memory in CMP systems: hardware-managed coherent caches and software-managed streaming memory. This paper performs a direct comparison o...

Much like multi-storey buildings in densely packed metropolises, three-dimensional (3D) chip structures are envisioned as a viable solution to skyrocketing transistor densities an...

We introduce a novel chip fabrication technique called “brick and mortar”, in which chips are made from small, pre-fabricated ASIC bricks and bonded in a designer-specified a...

Indirect branches have become increasingly common in modular programs written in modern object-oriented languages and virtualmachine based runtime systems. Unfortunately, the pred...
