The performance of most digital systems today is limited by their communication or
interconnection, not by their logic or memory. As designers strive to make more efficient use …

Effective data prefetching requires accurate mechanisms to predict both “which” cache
blocks to prefetch and “when” to prefetch them. This paper proposes the Dead-Block …

Within the wide range of issues related to 4G wireless networks, due to the scope of the
ISSTA conference, in this presentation we highlight some segments of wireless networks …

Dragonfly networks have been widely used in the current high-performance computers or
high-end servers. Fault-tolerant routing in dragonfly networks is essential. The rich …

Fault-tolerant routing is usually used to provide reliable on-chip communication for many-
core processors. This paper focuses on a special class of algorithms that do not use virtual …

Manycore systems are emerging for tera-scale computation and typically utilize Network-on-
Chip (NoC) as the communication fabrics between the cores. Since a single routing node …

This work presents Immucube, a scalable and efficient mechanism to improve dependability
of interconnection networks for parallel and distributed computers. Immucube achieves …

The huge increase both in size and complexity of high-end multiprocessor systems has
triggered their power consumption. Air or liquid cooling systems are needed, which, in turn …

A fault-tolerant routing algorithm for torus networks that uses only three virtual channels is
presented. The proposed algorithm is based on the block fault model, which is suitable for …

Fault-tolerant routing is the ability to survive failure of individual components and usually
uses several virtual channels (VCs) to overcome faulty nodes or links. A well-known …
