High-level power design presents a complex, multiobjective problem that involves the simultaneous optimisation of competing criteria such as speed, area and power. It is difficult...
This paper proposes a new coherence method called "multicast snooping" that dynamically adapts between broadcast snooping and a directory protocol. Multicast snooping is...

By optimizing data layout at run-time, we can potentially enhance the performance of caches by actively creating spatial locality, facilitating prefetching, and avoiding cache con...
A linear, tunable CMOS transconductance stage is introduced. Drain voltage of the input transistor operating in triode region is settled by a regulation loop and a first-order lin...
