RSS microprocessorHigh-Bandwidth Address Translation for Multiple-Issue Processors
White Paper In an effort to push the envelope of system performance, microprocessor designs are continually exploiting higher levels of instruction-level parallelism, resulting in increasing bandwidth demands on the address translation mechanism. [11 Jul 2008]
Fingerprinting: Bounding Soft-Error Detection Latency and Bandwidth
White Paper Recent studies have suggested that the soft-error rate in microprocessor logic will become a reliability concern by 2010. This paper proposes an efficient error detection technique, called fingerprinting, that detects differences in execution... [11 Jul 2008]
Scalability of 3D-Integrated Arithmetic Units in High-Performance Microprocessors
White Paper Three-Dimensional integration provides a simultaneous improvement in wire-related delay and power consumption of microprocessor circuits. Prior work has looked at the performance, power, and area benefits of the 3D integration technology. [11 Jul 2008]
Ethernet Network Traffic Accelerators
White Paper The Ethernet migration to 10 Gbps has exceeded microprocessor performance and memory bandwidth. Even the highest performance processors (CPUs) are unable to keep pace with the demands of the network. With systems unable to cope with the bandwidth... [08 Jul 2008]
Migrating Software Applications to Itanium Processor-Based HP NonStop Servers
White Paper HP has announced that it is developing high-performance versions of the NonStop server, replacing the current MIPS microprocessor with the next-generation Intel Itanium microprocessor. This white paper describes how migration to the native Itanium... [03 Jul 2008]
An Embedded Device Utilising GPRS for Communications
White Paper By using a very simple and cheap microprocessor, and relying on an existing communications infrastructure - the mobile phone network, the task was accomplished to the point that a functional system now exists. [03 Jul 2008]
