Concurrent detection of failures in analog circuits is becoming increasingly more important as safety-critical systems become more widespread. A methodology for the automatic desi...
An important technique for alleviating the memory bottleneck is data prefetching. Data prefetching solutions ranging from pure software approach by inserting prefetch instructions...
The exceedingly large size of fault dictionaries constitutes a fundamental obstacle to their usage. We outline a new method to reduce significantly the size of fault dictionaries...
A circuit or circuit component that does not contain any spurious switching activity, i.e., activity that is not required by its specified functionality, is called perfectly power...
Embedded processors are increasingly deployed in applications requiring high performance with good real-time characteristics whilst being low power. Parallelism has to be extracte...
Although x86 processors have been around for a long time and are the most ubiquitous processors in the world, the amount of academic research regarding details of their performanc...
A large and increasing number of modern embedded systems are subject to tight power/energy constraints. It has been demonstrated that the operating system (OS) can have a signifi...
Fault-tolerant distributed real-time systems are presently facing a lot of new challenges. Although many techniques provide effective masking of node failures on the architectural...
