This paper introduces the concept of dynamic instruction reuse. Empirical observations
suggest that many instructions, and groups of instructions, having the same inputs, are …

Processors execute the full dynamic instruction stream to arrive at the final output of a
program, yet there exist shorter instruction streams that produce the same overall effect. We …

In the last few years, power dissipation has become an important design constraint, on par
with performance, in the design of new computer systems. Whereas in the past, the primary …

This paper presents a new disk I/O architecture composed of an array of a flash memory
SSD (solid state disk) and a hard disk drive (HDD) that are intelligently coupled by a special …

Modern Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are well provisioned to support the concurrent
execution of thousands of threads. Unfortunately, different bottlenecks during execution and …

Malware can range from simple adware to stealthy kernel control-flow modifying rootkits.
Although anti-virus software is popular, an ongoing cat-and-mouse cycle of anti-virus …

This paper presents a theory for (disjunctive and nondisjunctive) function decomposition
using the BDD representation of Boolean functions. Incompletely specified as well as multi …

A slipstream processor reduces the length of a running program by dynamically skipping
computation non-essential for correct forward progress. The shortened program runs faster …

Redundancy is at the heart of graphical applications. In fact, generating an animation
typically involves the succession of extremely similar images. In terms of rendering these …

In modern systems, DRAM-based main memory is significantly slower than the processor.
Consequently, processors spend a long time waiting to access data from main memory …
