Previous work has shown that sizable power reductions can be achieved by shutting down a system's sub-circuits when they are not needed. However, these shutdown techniques fo...
As silicon process technology scales deeper into the nanometer regime, hardware defects are becoming more common. Such defects are bound to hinder the correct operation of future ...

High performance microprocessors are designed with generalpurpose applications in mind. When it comes to embedded applications, these architectures typically perform controlintens...
The performance of a system, especially a multiprocessor system, heavily depends upon the efficiency of its bus architecture. This paper presents a methodology to generate a custo...
