Designers can execute programs on software models to validate a proposed hardware
design's performance and correctness, while programmers can use these models to develop …

While many-core accelerator architectures, such as today's Graphics Processing Units
(GPUs), offer orders of magnitude more raw computing power than contemporary CPUs …

Graphics processing units (GPUs) continue to grow in popularity for general-purpose, highly
parallel, high-throughput systems. This has forced GPU vendors to increase their focus on …

The image data compression method involves the performing of steps: a block dividing step
for dividing a computer processor pipeline statistic image to be displayed into a plurality of …

In this thesis we introduce TraceVis, a tool for exploring application behavior as it relates to
its execution on a microprocessor. Through a host of features, TraceVis enables users to …

Understanding designers' intentions and accurately verifying a design are major obstacles
for verification engineers today. Currently available debugging tools, such as waveform …

Over the past eight years, the SimpleScalar Tool suite has become the most widely used set
of simulation tools in the computer architecture research community. The authors have …

Riscalar is a highly parameterisable, extensible, and modular computer architecture
simulation tool designed for the RISC-V ISA. The ability of Riscalar to explore a large design …

The use of simulation is well established in academic and industry research as a means of
evaluating architecture trade-offs. The large code base, complex architectural models, and …

A software execution visualization seeks to be a window into what a program does while it
runs. The user of a visualization wants the ability to examine a program's execution simply …
