—In this paper, we introduce a runtime, nontrace-based algorithm to compute the critical path profile of the execution of message passing and shared-memory parallel programs. Our...
For timing-driven or yield-driven designs, non-tree routing has become more and more popular and additional loops provide the redundant paths to protect against the effect of the ...
Recent research on processor microarchitecture suggests using instruction criticality as a metric to guide hardware control policies. Fields et al. [3, 4] have proposed a directed...
We present the new technique of dynamic path reduction (DPR), which allows one to prune redundant paths from the state space of a program under verification. DPR is a very general...
