Every notion of a component for the development of embedded systems has to take heterogeneity into account: components may be hardware or software or OS, synchronous or asynchrono...
The overall purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the relevance of semiotics concepts to the analysis of intelligent control systems. Semiotics has only a minor impact on resear...
As processor architectures have increased their reliance on speculative execution to improve performance, the importance of accurate prediction of what to execute speculatively ha...
Java applications rely on Just-In-Time (JIT) compilers or adaptive compilers to generate and optimize binary code at runtime to boost performance. In conventional Java Virtual Mac...
We present an extension to an existing SPARC V8 instruction set simulator, SimICS, to support accurate profiling of branches and instruction cache misses. SimICS had previously su...
