In this paper, we propose PDRAM, a novel energy efficient main memory architecture based on phase change random access memory (PRAM) and DRAM. The paper explores the challenges in...
It is generally believed that there will be little more variety in CPU architectures, and thus the design of Instruction-set Architectures (ISAs) will have no role in the future o...
Heterogeneously-licensed systems pose new challenges to analysts and system architects. Appropriate intellectual property rights must be available for the installed system, but wi...

Although pipelining or C-slowing an FPGA-based application can potentially dramatically improve the performance, this poses a question for conventional reconfigurable architecture...
This paper argues that caching, atomicity and layering are fundamental to persistent systems, and that the transactional object cache architecture, as an embodiment of these conce...
