Due to the high integration density and roadblock of voltage scaling, modern multicore
processors experience higher power densities than previous technology scaling nodes …

While there have been a slow rural–urban transition which highlighted the role that cities are
the centre for sustaining economies of regions, and even countries, it was the advent of the …

Several fundamental changes in technology indicate domain-specific hardware and
software co-design is the only path left. In this context, architecture, system, data …

In this work, we set out to find the answers to the following questions:(1) Where are the
bottlenecks in a state-of-theart architectural simulator?(2) How much faster can architectural …

The rapid growth in data yields challenges to process data efficiently using current high-
