With advances in process technology, soft errors (SE) are becoming an increasingly critical design concern. Due to their large area and high density, caches are worst hit by soft ...
Conventional cache models are not suited for real-time parallel processing because tasks may flush each other’s data out of the cache in an unpredictable manner. In this way th...

This paper presents a new and simple prefetching mechanism to improve the memory performance of multimedia applications. This method adapts the memory access mechanism to the acce...
This paper presents the study of running several core multimedia applications on a simultaneous multithreading (SMT) architecture and derives design principles for multimedia soft...
