Over the past decade, system architectures have started on a clear trend towards increased parallelism and heterogeneity, often resulting in speedups of 10x to 100x. Despite numer...
Power and performance benefits of scaling are lost to worst case margins as uncertainty of device characteristics is increasing. Adaptive techniques can dynamically adjust the mar...
— This paper presents a method for correct-by-construction microarchitectural pipelining that handles cyclic systems with dependencies between iterations. Our method combines pre...
