High-performance caches statically pull up the bitlines in all cache subarrays to optimize cache access latency. Unfortunately, such an architecture results in a significant wast...
As many real-world problems involve user preferences, costs, or probabilities, constraint satisfaction has been extended to optimization by generalizing hard constraints to soft co...
For natural images, there are usually repeating similar contents but hard to be well predicted locally. Prediction using template matching is an effective technology to exploit su...
Multi-core processors naturally exploit thread-level parallelism (TLP). However, extracting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) from individual applications or threads is still a ...
Given a smooth surface, a blue (red) ridge is a curve such that at each of its points, the maximum (minimum) principal curvature has an extremum along its curvature line. Ridges a...
