The instruction cache is a popular target for optimizations of microprocessor-based systems because of the cache’s high impact on system performance and power, and because of th...
Low-Cost test methodologies for Systems-on-Chip are increasingly popular. They dictate which features have to be included on-chip and which test procedures have to be adopted in o...
This paper presents a model for instruction-level distributed computing that allows the implementation of scalable chip multiprocessors. Based on explicit microthreading it serves ...
Profilers play an important role in software/hardware design, optimization, and verification. Various approaches have been proposed to implement profilers. The most widespread app...
