Adaptive Spill-Receive for robust high-performance caching in CMPs
In a Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) with private caches, the last level cache is statically partitioned between all the cores. This prevents such CMPs from sharing cache capacity in r...

Prediction router: Yet another low latency on-chip router architecture
Network-on-Chips (NoCs) are quite latency sensitive, since their communication latency strongly affects the application performance on recent many-core architectures. To reduce th...

NoC topology synthesis for supporting shutdown of voltage islands in SoCs
In many Systems on Chips (SoCs), the cores are clustered in to voltage islands. When cores in an island are unused, the entire island can be shutdown to reduce the leakage power c...
