Because of the large number of possible combinations for the fuel assembly loading in the core, the design of the loading pattern (LP) is a complex optimization problem. It requir...
The popularity of mobile devices has propelled the development of many useful location-aware applications. However, the heterogeneity of mobile devices necessitates that the softw...
Caches may consume half of a microprocessor’s total power and cache misses incur accessing off-chip memory, which is both time consuming and energy costly. Therefore, minimizing...
Instruction-set extensible processors allow an existing processor core to be extended with application-specific custom instructions. In this paper, we explore a novel application...
Biochips based on digital microfluidics offer a powerful platform for massively parallel biochemical analysis such as clinical diagnosis and DNA sequencing. Current full-custom de...
