Rising development costs motivate companies to design fewer systems-on-chip, but to make each one they do design more flexible and programmable. Doing so makes it possible to reuse designs to take ...

Instruction-level Parallelism (ILP) refers to design techniques that enable more than one RISC instruction to be executed simultaneously in the same instruction, which boosts processor performance by ...

CATALOG DESCRIPTION: Design and evaluation of modern uniprocessor computing systems. Evaluation methodology/metrics and caveats, instruction set design, advanced pipelining, instruction level ...

Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) is a way of improving the performance of a processor by executing operations simultaneously. Modern processors generally have an abundance of execution ...

Concurrent and parallel systems form the bedrock of modern computational infrastructures, enabling vast improvements in processing speed, efficiency and scalability. By orchestrating multiple ...

The Cell processor consists of a general-purpose POWERPC processor core connected to eight special-purpose DSP cores. These DSP cores, which IBM calls "synergistic processing elements" (SPE), but I'm ...
