Multi-threaded commercial workloads implement many important Internet services.
Consequently, these workloads are increasingly used to evaluate the performance of …

SoC Verification is one of the hot issues in VLSI. More than 70 percent of the time is spent on
verification. So, there is a need for constructing a reusable and robust verification …

Full-system simulation is increasingly used to evaluate the performance of commercial
workloads on future multiprocessor designs. However, challenges such as simulation …

Memory trace analysis is an important technology for architecture research, system software
(ie, OS, compiler) optimization, and application performance improvements. Many …

This paper advocates that cache coherence protocols use a bandwidth adaptive approach
to adjust to varied system configurations (eg, number of processors) and workload …

With the advent of dual-core chips in the marketplace, small-scale CMP (chip
multiprocessor) architectures are becoming commonplace. We expect a continuing trend of …

In this paper, we propose a method for calculating the similarity between two digital images.
A global signature describing the texture, shape, or color content is first computed for every …
