A software-hardware hybrid steering mechanism for clustered microarchitectures
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)
Conference report
Open AccessClustered microarchitectures provide a promising paradigm to solve or alleviate the problems of increasing microprocessor complexity and wire delays. High- performance out-of-order processors rely on hardware-only steering ... -
Accelerating SpMV on FPGAs through block-row compress: a task-based approach
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023)
Conference lecture
Open AccessSparse Matrix-Vector multiplication (SpMV), computing y=α⋅A×x+β⋅y where y,x are dense vectors, α,β two scalar constants, and A is a sparse matrix, is a key kernel in many HPC applications. It exhibits a kind of memory ... -
Adaptive and application dependant runtime guided hardware reconfiguration for the IBM POWER7

Adaptive fault-tolerant architecture for unreliable technologies with heterogeneous variability
(2012-07)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyThis paper introduces an efficient adaptive redundant architecture, which makes use of the averaging cell (AVG) principle in order to improve the reliability of nanoscale circuits and systems. We propose an adaptive structure ... -
AGAMOS: A graph-based approach to modulo scheduling for clustered microarchitectures
(2009-06)
Article
Open AccessThis paper presents AGAMOS, a technique to modulo schedule loops on clustered microarchitectures. The proposed scheme uses a multilevel graph partitioning strategy to distribute the workload among clusters and reduces the ... -
An energy-efficient memory unit for clustered microarchitectures
(2016-08-01)
Article
Open AccessWhereas clustered microarchitectures themselves have been extensively studied, the memory units for these clustered microarchitectures have received relatively little attention. This article discusses some of the inherent ... -
An ultra low-power hardware accelerator for automatic speech recognition
