— Yield improvement through exploiting fault-free sections of defective chips is a well-known technique [1][2]. The idea is to partition the circuitry of a chip in a way that fau...
The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the memory hierarchy performance. In particular, higher cache hit rate can provide significant performance boos...
Code placement techniques have traditionally improved instruction fetch bandwidth by increasing instruction locality and decreasing the number of taken branches. However, traditio...
In this paper we report experiences on a parallel implementation of a standard cell placement algorithm on a cluster of myrinet connected PCs. The proposed algorithm is based on a...
