To protect processor logic from soft errors, multicore redundant architectures execute two copies of a program on separate cores of a chip multiprocessor (CMP). Maintaining identical instruction streams is challenging because redundant cores operate indepe ...
Present application specific embedded systems tend to choose instruction set extensions (ISEs) based on limitations imposed by the available data bandwidth to custom functional units (CFUs). Adoption of the optimal ISE for an application would, in many cas ...
Using a first-principles approach, we investigate the effect of interdimer interactions on N Is core-level shifts at the NH3 saturated Si(100)-2 X 1 surface. Fully relaxed model structures are generated in which -NH2 groups on adjacent dimers in a row are ...
Energy consumption is today one of the major topics that the HPC community tries to tackle. In this paper, the authors present a thought experiment aiming at building a node of a supercomputer based on a GPU (Nvidia GTX280). The paper concentrate on BLAS2 ...
Caches are designed to provide the best tradeoff between access speed and capacity for a set of target applications. Unfortunately, different applications, and even different phases within the same application, may require a different capacity-speed tradeo ...
To realize dependable and profitable information and communication systems, computing resources (CPU, memory, network bandwidth) should be taken into account to a much wider extent than they are today. E-commerce infrastructure, such as application servers ...
In chip multiprocessors (CMPs), limiting the number of off-chip cache misses is crucial for good performance. Many multithreaded programs provide opportunities for constructive cache sharing, in which concurrently scheduled threads share a largely overlapp ...
For the last thirty years, electronics, at first built with discrete components, and then as Integrated Circuits (IC), have brought diverse and lasting improvements to our quality of life. Examples might include digital calculators, automotive and airplane ...
We address the design of complex monolithic systems, where processing cores generate and consume a varying and large amount of data, thus bringing the communication links to the edge of congestion. Typical applications are in the area of multi-media proces ...
