Profile data is valuable for identifying performance bottlenecks and guiding optimizations. Periodic sampling of a processor's performance monitoring hardware is an effective...

Novel test bench techniques are required to cope with a functional test complexity which is predicted to grow much more strongly than design complexity. Our test bench approach at...
We revisit memory hierarchy design viewing memory as an inter-operation communication agent. This perspective leads to the development of novel methods of performing inter-operati...
Compiler optimizations are often driven by specific assumptions about the underlying architecture and implementation of the target machine. For example, when targeting shared-mem...
