While set-associative caches incur fewer misses than directmapped caches, they typically have slower hit times and higher power consumption, when multiple tag and data banks are p...
In this paper we present a verification platform designed for HyperTransport 3.x (HT3) applications. HyperTransport 3.x is a very low latency and high bandwidth chip-tochip interc...
erse approaches at all levels of abstraction starting from the physical level up to the system level. Experience shows that a highlevel method may have a larger impact since the de...
The ever increasing gap in processor and memory speeds has a very negative impact on performance. One possible solution to overcome this problem is the Kilo-instruction processor. ...
—Hardware-managed caches introduce large amounts of timing variability, complicating real-time system design. One alternative is a memory system with scratchpad memories which im...
