The explosive growth in the performance of microprocessors and networks has created a new opportunity to reduce the latency of fine-grain communication. Microprocessor clock speed...
-- Internet routers and Ethernet switches contain packet buffers to hold packets during times of congestion. Packet buffers are at the heart of every packet switch and router, whic...
— Effective address calculation for load and store instructions needs to compete for ALU with other instructions and hence extra latencies might be incurred to data cache accesse...
Growing concerns about power have revived interest in in-order pipelines. In-order pipelines sacrifice single-thread performance. Specifically, they do not allow execution to flow...
Abstract In an effort to achieve lower bandwidth requirements, video compression algorithms have become increasingly complex. Consequently, the deployment of these algorithms on Fi...
