The ability to continue increasing processor frequency and single thread performance is being severely limited by exponential increases in leakage and active power. To continue to...
This paper proposes and studies a distributed L2 cache management approach through page-level data to cache slice mapping in a future processor chip comprising many cores. L2 cach...
The current methodology used in mass-market processor design is to create a single base microarchitecture (e.g., Intel's "Core"or AMD's"K8") that is ...
This paper introduces the notion of a Flexible Instruction Processor (FIP) for systematic customisation of instruction processor design and implementation. The features of our app...
We describe a modular reference implementation of an IPbased DSL access multiplexer (DSLAM). We identify deployment trends and primary tasks a future DSLAM has to offer. The imple...
