Micro-architectural Analysis of OLAP: Limitations and Opportunities

Understanding micro-architectural behavior is important for efficiently using hardware resources. Recent work has shown that in-memory online transaction processing (OLTP) systems severely underutilize their core micro-architecture resources [29]. Whereas, ...

Neural Network based On-Chip Thermal Simulator

David Atienza Alonso, Pratyush Kumar

With increasing power densities, runtime thermal management is becoming a necessity in today’s systems, especially so for highly integrated Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoCs). In this paper, we propose a neural network (NN) based approach to implemen ...

Joint Hardware-Software Leakage Minimization Approach for the Register File of VLIW Embedded Architectures

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, José Luis Ayala Rodrigo

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 ...

Exploring Temperature-Aware Design of Memory Architectures in VLIW Systems

David Atienza Alonso, José Luis Ayala Rodrigo

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 ...

Reduction of Register File Delay Due to Process Variability in VLIW Embedded Processors

Giovanni De Micheli, David Atienza Alonso, José Luis Ayala Rodrigo

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 ...

Processeur à haut degré de parallélisme basé sur des composantes sérielles

Ralph Hoffmann

Nowaday, the world of processors is still dominated by the RISC architectures, which foundations have been laid down in the 70's. The RISC concept may be summarized by one word : simplicity. With this concept, much simpler architectures are born, in partic ...
