Due to the breakdown of Dennardian scaling, the percentage of a silicon chip that can
switch at full frequency is dropping exponentially with each process generation. This …

Because of the breakdown of Dennard scaling, the percentage of a silicon chip that can
switch at full frequency drops exponentially with each process generation. This utilization …

GPU and FPGA-based clouds have already demonstrated the promise of accelerating
computing-intensive workloads with greatly improved power and performance. In this paper …

It is projected that increasing on-chip integration with technology scaling will lead to the so-
called dark silicon era in which more transistors are available on a chip than can be …

Transistor density continues to increase exponentially, but power dissipation per transistor is
improving only slightly with each generation of Moore's law. Given the constant chip-level …

Shared last-level caches, widely used in chip-multi-processors (CMPs), face two
fundamental limitations. First, the latency and energy of shared caches degrade as the …

Cloud services are becoming increasingly globalized and data-center workloads are
expanding exponentially. GPU and FPGA-based clouds have illustrated improvements in …

We propose a Standard Template Library (STL) for synthesizeable SystemVerilog that
sharply reduces the time required to design digital circuits. We overview the principles that …

In this paper, we propose an efficient iterative optimization based approach for architectural
synthesis of dark silicon heterogeneous chip multi-processors (CMPs). The goal is to …

Software engineers now face the difficult task of refactoring serial programs for parallel
execution on multicore processors. Currently, they are offered little guidance as to how much …
