    Article
    Accés obert
    Cross-layer reliability is becoming the preferred solution when reliability is a concern in the design of a microprocessor-based system. Nevertheless, deciding how to distribute the error management across the different ...

  • Visibility rendering order: Improving energy efficiency on mobile GPUs through frame coherence 

    Lucas Casamayor, Enrique de; Marcuello Pascual, Pedro; Parcerisa Bundó, Joan Manuel; González Colás, Antonio María (2019-02-01)
    Article
    Accés obert
    During real-time graphics rendering, objects are processed by the GPU in the order they are submitted by the CPU, and occluded surfaces are often processed even though they will end up not being part of the final image, ...

  • Strategies to enhance the 3T1D-DRAM cell variability robustness beyond 22 nm 

    Amat Bertran, Esteve; García Almudéver, Carmen; Aymerich, N.; Canal Corretger, Ramon; Rubio Sola, Jose Antonio (2014-10-01)
    Article
    Accés obert
    3T1D cell has been stated as a valid alternative to be implemented on L1 memory cache to substitute 6T, highly affected by device variability as technology dimensions are reduced. In this work, we have shown that 22 nm ...

  • Low-power automatic speech recognition through a mobile GPU and a Viterbi accelerator 

    Yazdani Aminabadi, Reza; Segura Salvador, Albert; Arnau Montañés, José María; González Colás, Antonio María (2017-04-12)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Automatic speech recognition (ASR) has become a core technology for mobile devices. Delivering real-time and accurate ASR has a huge computational cost, which is challenging to achieve in tightly energy-constrained platforms ...

  • Statistical analysis and comparison of 2T and 3T1D e-DRAM minimum energy operation 

    Rana, Manish; Canal Corretger, Ramon; Amat Bertran, Esteve; Rubio Sola, Jose Antonio (2017-03-01)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Bio-medical wearable devices restricted to their small-capacity embedded-battery require energy-efficiency of the highest order. However, minimum-energy point (MEP) at sub-threshold voltages is unattainable with SRAM memory, ...

  • Executing algorithms with hypercube topology on torus multicomputers 

    González Colás, Antonio María; Valero García, Miguel; Díaz de Cerio Ripalda, Luis Manuel (1995-08)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Many parallel algorithms use hypercubes as the communication topology among their processes. When such algorithms are executed on hypercube multicomputers the communication cost is kept minimum since processes can be ...

  • Exploiting narrow values for soft error tolerance 

    Ergin, Oguz; Unsal, Osman Sabri; Vera Rivera, Francisco Javier; González Colás, Antonio María (2006-07)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Soft errors are an important challenge in contemporary microprocessors. Particle hits on the components of a processor are expected to create an increasing number of transient errors with each new microprocessor generation. ...

  • Reliability: fallacy or reality? 

    González Colás, Antonio María; Mahlke, Scott; Mukherjee, Shubu; Sendag, Resit; Chiou, Derek; Yi, Joshua J. (2007-11)
    Article
    Accés obert
    As chip architects and manufacturers plumb ever-smaller process technologies, new species of faults are compromising device reliability, following an introduction by the authors debate whether reliability is a legitimate ...

  • Thread partitioning and value prediction for exploiting speculative thread-level parallelism 

    Marcuello, Pedro; González Colás, Antonio María; Tubella Murgadas, Jordi (2004-02)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Speculative thread-level parallelism has been recently proposed as a source of parallelism to improve the performance in applications where parallel threads are hard to find. However, the efficiency of this execution model ...

  • Understanding the thermal implications of multicore architectures 

    Chaparro, Pedro; González González, José; Magklis, Grigorios; Cai, Qiong; González Colás, Antonio María (2007-08)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Multicore architectures are becoming the main design paradigm for current and future processors. The main reason is that multicore designs provide an effective way of overcoming instruction-level parallelism (ILP) limitations ...

  • Reducing branch delay to zero in pipelined processors 

    González Colás, Antonio María; Llaberia Griñó, José M. (1993-03)
    Article
    Accés obert
    A mechanism to reduce the cost of branches in pipelined processors is described and evaluated. It is based on the use of multiple prefetch, early computation of the target address, delayed branch, and parallel execution ...
