This paper presents Warped-Compression, a warp-level register compression scheme for
reducing GPU power consumption. This work is motivated by the observation that the …

General purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs) have the ability to execute hundreds
of concurrent threads. To support massive parallelism GPGPUs provide a very large register …

Processor register file (RF) is an important microarchitectural component used for storing
operands and results of instructions. The design and operation of RF have crucial impact on …

Soft errors induced by energetic particle strikes in on-chip cache memories have become an
increasing challenge in designing new generation reliable microprocessors. Previous efforts …

GPU design trends show that the register file size will continue to increase to enable even
more thread level parallelism. As a result register file consumes a large fraction of the total …

This work presents a study of several evolutionary attributes of two open source software
systems: the distributed file system Arla and the stable branch of the Web browser Mozilla …

The register file is a critical component in a modern superscalar processor. It must be large
enough to accommodate the results of all in-flight instructions. It must also have enough …

In SMT processors, the complex interplay between private and shared datapath resources
needs to be considered in order to realize the full performance potential. In this paper, we …

This paper presents a low cost fault-tolerant technique so called OWHR (Operand Width
Aware Hardware Reuse) to ALU design in embedded processors. The OWHR technique is …

This paper studies approaches to exploiting the space both within or across registers
efficiently for improving the register file reliability against transient errors. The idea of our …
