For memory constrained environments like embedded systems, optimization for program size is often as important, if not more important, as optimization for execution speed. Commonl...
This paper presents the Mitosis framework, which is a combined hardware-software approach to speculative multithreading, even in the presence of frequent dependences among threads....
Achieving a high quality and cost-effective tests is a major concern for software buyers and sellers. Using tools and integrating techniques to carry out low cost testing are chal...

In this paper, we follow a new path to arrive at the idea of a COMA — a Cache Only Memory Architecture. We show how the evolution of another architecture (ADARC) leads quite nat...
Parameter variation in scaled technologies beyond 90nm will pose a major challenge for design of future high performance microprocessors. In this paper, we discuss process, voltag...
