Contemporary processors are becoming wider and more parallel. Thus developers must work hard to extract performance gains. An alternative computing paradigm is to use FPGA technolo...
FPGAs have appealing features such as customizable internal and external bandwidth and the ability to exploit vast amounts of fine-grain parallelism. In this paper we explore the ...
Java applications rely on Just-In-Time (JIT) compilers or adaptive compilers to generate and optimize binary code at runtime to boost performance. In conventional Java Virtual Mac...
—Performance degradation of memory-intensive programs caused by the LRU policy’s inability to handle weaklocality data accesses in the last level cache is increasingly serious ...
In this paper, the program control unit of an embedded RISC processor is enhanced with a novel zerooverhead loop controller (ZOLC) supporting arbitrary loop structures with multip...
