: 2-D Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) is widely used as the core of digital image and video compression. In this paper, we present a novel DCT architecture that allows aggressive v...
Control-flow misprediction penalties are a major impediment to high performance in wide-issue superscalar processors. In this paper we present Selective Eager Execution (SEE), an ...
On public communication networks such as the Internet, data confidentiality can be provided by symmetric-key ciphers. One of the most common operations used in symmetric-key ciphe...
Fast instruction decoding is a challenge for the design of CISC microprocessors. A well-known solution to overcome this problem is using a trace cache. It stores and fetches alrea...
Digital implementation of analog function is becoming attractive in CMOS ICs, given the low supply voltage of ultra-scaled process. The conventional fractional-N frequency synthes...
