Achieving high performance under a peak temperature limit is a first-order concern for VLSI designers. This paper presents a new model of a thermally-managed system, where a stoch...
In this paper, we investigate the data access patterns and file I/O behaviors of a production cosmology application that uses the adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) technique for it...

— Memory-intensive applications present unique challenges to an ASIC designer in terms of the choice of memory organization, memory size requirements, bandwidth and access latenc...
Clusters of workstations are a popular alternative to integrated parallel systems designed and built by a vendor. Besides their huge cumulative processing power, they also provide...
Performance simulation tools must be validated during the design process as functional models and early hardware are developed, so that designers can be sure of the performance of...
