NBTI is one of the most important silicon reliability problems facing processor designers today. The impact of NBTI can be mitigated at both the circuit and microarchitecture leve...
In this paper, we design and implement an efficient technique for parallel evidence propagation on state-of-the-art multicore processor systems. Evidence propagation is a major ste...
Abstract. Multimedia and network processing applications make extensive use of subword data. Since registers are capable of holding a full data word, when a subword variable is ass...
Abstract—Future microprocessors increasingly rely on an unreliable CMOS fabric due to aggressive scaling of voltage and frequency, and shrinking design margins. Fortunately, many...

In this paper we employ two techniques suitable for embedded media processors. The first technique, extended subwords, uses four extra bits for every byte in a media register. Th...
