Using register renaming and physical registers, modern microprocessors eliminate false data dependences from reuse of the instruction set defined registers (logical registers). High performance processors that have longer pipelines and a greater capacity t ...
Understanding stakeholders’ needs is necessary to design requirements for organizations and IT systems. We present a systemic modeling method to identify and categorize stakeholders within value networks, to analyze the relationships between these value ne ...
In 1971, the first microprocessor produced in mass production had 2300 transistor and was able to compute 60'000 operations per second at 740 kHz. Nowadays, even a common gaming console uses a central unit including 243 millions of transistors running at 4 ...
This paper describes the methodology used to transform the 2001 Swiss SAM devised at ETH Zürich and align it to the requirements of the GEMINI-E3 model which is based on the GTAP database. ...
Several recent studies identify the memory system as the most frequent source of hardware failures in commercial servers. Techniques to protect the memory system from failures must continue to service memory requests, despite hardware failures. Furthermore ...
Continuous transistor scaling due to improvements in CMOS devices and manufacturing technologies is increasing processor power densities and temperatures; thus, creating challenges when trying to maintain manufacturing yield rates and devices which will be ...
One of the most celebrated results of the theory of distributed computing is the impossibility, in an asynchronous system of n processes that communicate through shared memory registers, to solve the set agreement problem where the processes need to deci ...
The development of compiler-based mechanisms to optimize the thermal profile of large register files to improve the processor reliability has become an important issue. Thermal hotspots have been known to cause severe reliability issues, while the thermal ...

Most closed source drivers installed on desktop systems today have never been exposed to formal analysis. Without vendor support, the only way to make these often hastily written, yet critical programs accessible to static analysis is to directly work at t ...
