Continued scaling of CMOS technology to smaller transistor sizes makes modern processors more susceptible to both transient and permanent hardware faults. Circuitlevel techniques ...
Divide and conquer algorithms are a good match for modern parallel machines: they tend to have large amounts of inherent parallelism and they work well with caches and deep memory...
Data prefetching has been widely used in the past as a technique for hiding memory access latencies. However, data prefetching in multi-threaded applications running on chip multi...
