Network processors (NPs) promise a flexible, programmable packet processing infrastructure for network systems. To make full use of the capabilities of network processors, it is ...
Trace-driven simulation of superscalar processors is particularly complicated. The dynamic nature of superscalar processors combined with the static nature of traces can lead to l...
Parameter variation in integrated circuits causes sections of a chip to be slower than others. If, to prevent any resulting timing errors, we design processors for worst-case para...
