This paper describes the challenges presented by singlechip parallel media processors (PMPs). These machines integrate multiple parallel function units, instruction execution, and...
A new control flow checking scheme, based on assigned-signature checking by a watchdog processor, is presented. This scheme is suitable for a multitasking, multiprocessor environme...
In a dynamic reordering superscalar processor, the front-end fetches instructions and places them in the issue queue. Instructions are then issued by the back-end execution core. T...
Some instructions have more impact on processor performance than others. Identification of these critical instructions can be used to modify and improve instruction processing. Pr...
