A Primer on Hardware Prefetching

Babak Falsafi

Since the 1970’s, microprocessor-based digital platforms have been riding Moore’s law, allowing for doubling of density for the same area roughly every two years. However, whereas microprocessor fabrication has focused on increasing instruction execution r ...

Comparison Framework of FPGA-based GNSS Signals Acquisition Architectures

Pierre-André Farine, Cyril Botteron, Jérôme Leclère

The acquisition of Global Navigation Satellite Systems signals using Code Division Multiple Access can be performed through classical correlation or using a Fourier transform. These methods are well known but what is missing is a comparison of their perfor ...

Inducing Thermal-Awareness in Multicore Systems Using Networks-on-Chip

David Atienza Alonso

Technology scaling imposes an ever increasing temperature stress on digital circuit design due to transistor density, especially on highly integrated systems, such as Multi- Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs). Therefore, temperature-aware design is mandato ...

Self-replication for reliability: bio-inspired hardware and the embryonics project

Daniel Mange, Joël Rossier, Pierre-André Mudry

The growth and operation of all living beings are directed by the interpretation, in each of their cells, of a chemical program, the DNA string or genome. This process is the source of inspiration for the Embryonics (embryonic electronics) project, whose f ...

Routing Aware Switch Hardware Customization for Networks on Chips

Giovanni De Micheli, Srinivasan Murali

Networks on Chip (NoC) has been proposed as a scalable and reusable solution for interconnecting the ever- growing number of processor/memory cores on a single silicon die. As the hardware complexity of a NoC is significant, methods for designing a NoC wit ...

Multi-unit global energy management and optimization for network-on-chip applications

Zeynep Toprak Deniz

The problem of energy optimization in multi-core systems (such as single-chip multiprocessors) where the individual energy demands of various processing elements are governed by instantaneous workload requirements is well defined in literature. The signifi ...
