Different approaches have been proposed over the years for automatically transforming High-Level-Languages (HLL) descriptions of applications into custom hardware implementations. ...
: As scan compression replaces the traditional scan it is important to understand how it works with power. DFT MAX represents one of the two primary scan compression solutions used...
In this paper, we introduce PTLsim, a cycle accurate full system x86-64 microprocessor simulator and virtual machine. PTLsim models a modern superscalar out of order x86-64 proces...
— Y -interconnects for VLSI chips are based on the use of global and semi-global wiring in only 0◦ , 60◦ , and 120◦ . Though X-interconnects are fast replacing the traditio...
The Instruction Register File (IRF) is an architectural extension for providing improved access to frequently occurring instructions. An optimizing compiler can exploit an IRF by ...
