Abstract— Recent research has shown that forwarding speculative data to other processors before it is requested can improve the performance of multiprocessor systems. The most re...
Abstract— Gate leakage (direct tunneling current for sub65nm CMOS) can severely affect both the transient and steady state behaviors of CMOS circuits. In this paper we quantify t...
Abstract— The continuing divergence of processor and memory speeds has led to the increasing reliance on larger caches which have become major consumers of area and power in embe...
Abstract— Process variations make at-speed testing significantly more difficult. They cause subtle delay changes that are distributed rather than the localized nature of a trad...
