Low-overhead checkpointing and rollback is a popular technique for fault recovery. While different approaches are possible, hardware-supported checkpointing and rollback at the ca...
As semiconductor feature sizes decrease, interconnect delay is becoming a dominant component of processor cycle times. This creates a critical need to shift microarchitectural des...
We consider the problem of scheduling the mixed workload of both sporadic (on-line) and periodic (off-line) tasks on variable voltage processor to optimize power consumption while...
Web search engines are facing formidable performance challenges as they need to process thousands of queries per second over billions of documents. To deal with this heavy workloa...
Today's customizable processors allow the designer to augment the base processor with custom accelerators. By choosing appropriate set of accelerators, designer can significa...
