Realtime ray tracing has recently established itself as a possible alternative to the current rasterization approach for interactive 3D graphics. However, the performance of exist...
This paper presents the Alpha EV8 conditional branch predictor. The Alpha EV8 microprocessor project, canceled in June 2001 in a late phase of development, envisioned an aggressiv...
Modern multi-core architectures have become popular because of the limitations of deep pipelines and heating and power concerns. Some of these multi-core architectures such as the...
The SGI Origin 2000 is a cache-coherent non-uniform memory access (ccNUMA) multiprocessor designed and manufactured by Silicon Graphics, Inc. The Origin system was designed from t...
Commercial soft processors are unable to effectively exploit the data parallelism present in many embedded systems workloads, requiring FPGA designers to exploit it (laboriously) ...
