Scaling feature size improves processor performance but increases each device’s susceptibility to defects (i.e., hard errors). As a result, fabrication technology must improve s...
Performance evaluation using only a subset of programs from a benchmark suite is commonplace in computer architecture research. This is especially true during early design space e...
Recent advances in bioinformatics and the significant increase in computational power available to researchers have made it possible to make better use of the vast amounts of gene...
