We have fabricated a Chip Multiprocessor prototype code-named Merlot to proof our novel speculative multithreading architecture. On Merlot, multiple threads provide wider issue wi...
While architects understandhow to build cost-effective parallel machines across a wide spectrum of machine sizes (ranging from within a single chip to large-scale servers), the re...

As more data value speculation mechanisms are being proposed to speed-up processors, there is growing pressure on the critical processor structures that must buffer the state of t...
Increasing miniaturization is posing multiple challenges to electronic designers. In the context of Multi-Processor System-onChips (MPSoCs), we focus on the problem of implementin...
