Abstract--Recent technology trends have made radiationinduced soft errors a growing threat to the reliability of microprocessors, a problem previously only known to the aerospace i...
The size and speed of first-level caches and SRAMs of embedded processors continue to increase in response to demands for higher performance. In power-sensitive devices like PDAs a...
Since the onset of pipelined processors, balancing the delay of the microarchitectural pipeline stages such that each microarchitectural pipeline stage has an equal delay has been...
Abstract-- Network processors (NPs) have emerged as successful platforms to providing both high performance and flexibility in building powerful routers. Typical NPs incorporate mu...
