—Caches ideally should have low miss rates and short access times, and should be power efficient at the same time. Such design goals are often contradictory in practice. Recent f...
As symmetric multiprocessors become commonplace, the interconnection networks and the communication system software in clusters of multiprocessors become critical to achieving high...

Performance tuning is an important and time consuming task which may have to be repeated for each new application and platform. Although iterative optimisation can automate this p...
This paper proposes a rapid and accurate evaluation scheme for cycle counts of a pipelined processor using evaluation reuse technique. Since exploration of an optimal processor is...
