This paper proposes optimizations of the methods and parameters used in both mathematical approximation and hardware design for logarithmic number system (LNS) arithmetic. First, ...
We have fabricated a Chip Multiprocessor prototype code-named Merlot to proof our novel speculative multithreading architecture. On Merlot, multiple threads provide wider issue wi...
The synchronous language Esterel is an established language for developing reactive systems. It gives an abstract, well-defined and executable description of the application, and c...
The increasingly constrained power budget of today's microprocessor has resulted in a situation where power savings of all components in a system have to be taken into consid...
Given the rapid rise of model-driven software development methodologies, it is highly desirable that tools be developed to support the use of design patterns in this context. This...
