This paper explores a novel way to incorporate hardware-programmable resources into a processor microarchitecture to improve the performance of general-purpose applications. Throu...
The IA-64 architecture has been designed as a synthesis of VLIW and superscalar design principles. It incorporates typical functionality known from embedded processors as multiply...
Bit-slicing is a non-conventional implementation technique for cryptographic software where an n-bit processor is considered as a collection of n 1-bit execution units operating in...
- Even though state-of-the-art FPGAs present new opportunities in exploring low-cost high-performance architectures for floating-point scientific applications, they also pose serio...
NBTI is one of the most important silicon reliability problems facing processor designers today. The impact of NBTI can be mitigated at both the circuit and microarchitecture leve...
