Future high performance microprocessor design with technology scaling beyond 90nm will pose two major challenges: (1) energy and power, and (2) parameter variations. Design practi...
Parameter variation in scaled technologies beyond 90nm will pose a major challenge for design of future high performance microprocessors. In this paper, we discuss process, voltag...
Continuous improvements in integration scale have made major microprocessor vendors to move to designs that integrate several processor cores on the same chip. Chip-multiprocessor...
Local interconnect architectures are at a cusp in which advances in throughput have come at the expense of power and latency. Moreover, physical limits imposed on dissipation and ...
The performance of the data memory hierarchy is extremely important in current and near future high performance superscalar microprocessors. To address the memory gap, computer de...
