Dynamically reconfigurable logic is becoming an important design unit in SoC system. A method to make the reconfiguration management transparent to software applications is requir...
This paper addresses two aspects of low-power design for FPGA circuits. First, we present an RT-level power estimator for FPGAs with consideration of wire length. The power estima...
Modeling and analysis of program behavior are at the foundation of computer system design and optimization. As computer systems become more adaptive, their efficiency increasingly...
Language run-time systems are often called upon to safely execute mutually distrustful tasks within the same runtime, protecting them from other tasks’ bugs or otherwise hostile...
This paper investigates helper threads that improve performance by prefetching data on behalf of an application’s main thread. The focus is data prefetch helper threads that lac...
