CMOS technology trends are leading to an increasing incidence of hard (permanent) faults in processors. These faults may be introduced at fabrication or occur in the field. Wherea...
The effectiveness of implementing bit-stream signal processing (BSSP) multiplier circuits in FPGAs, in terms of hardware resources and clock frequency, is presented. In particular...

Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) represents a fundamental shift in processor capability. SMT's ability to execute multiple threads simultaneously within a single CPU offers ...
Monte-Carlo simulations are used in many applications, such as option pricing and portfolio evaluation. Due to their high computational load and intrinsic parallelism, they are id...
A limiting factor in the performance of a rendering system is the number of state changes, i.e., changes of the attributes material, texture, shader program, etc., in the stream o...
