Programming specialized network processors (NPU) is inherently difficult. Unlike mainstream processors where architectural features such as out-of-order execution and caches hide ...
The combination of flit-buffer flow control methods and latency-insensitive protocols is an effective solution for networks-on-chip (NoC). Since they both rely on backpressure...
Profiling an application executing on a microprocessor is part of the solution to numerous software and hardware optimization and design automation problems. Most current profilin...
