New applications demand very high processing power when run on embedded systems. Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architectures have emerged as a promising alternative to provide such processing capabilities under the given energy budget. However, in this ...
This paper presents a thermal model to analyze the temperature evolution in the shared register files found on VLIW systems. The use of this model allows the analysis of several factors that have an strong impact on the heat transfer: layout topology, plac ...
Process variation in future technologies can cause severe performance degradation since different parts of the shared Register File (RF) in VLIW processors may operate at various speeds. In this paper we present a complete approach that handles speed varia ...
The expansion of 3D real-time simulations (3DRTS) into millions of homes together with the technical progress of computers hardware force to approach software developments for 3DRTS from different perspectives. From an historical standpoint, 3DRTS started ...
