Programmable stochastic processors
… approaches for reducing power in microprocessors are being exhausted, extreme power challenges call for unconventional approaches to power reduction. Recent research has shown substantial promise for application-specific stochastic computing, i.e., computing that exploits application …

Photonic RF signal processors
… capabilities offered by in-fiber RF signal processors for processing ultra wide-band, high-frequency signals directly in optical domain make them attractive options for applications in optical networks and wide-band microwave signal processing. However, the principal drawbacks which have …

Robust Adaptive Signal Processors
Standard open loop linear adaptive signal processing algorithms derived from the least squares minimization criterion require estimates of the N-dimensional input interference and noise statistics. Often, estimated statistics are biased by contaminant data (such as outliers and non-stationary data) …

Next-Generation Photonic Signal Processors
… capacitance and transistor leakage. Photonic processors, leveraging light, are devoid of these effects and utilize wavelength-division multiplexing for increased throughput and energy efficiency. Yet, their WDM scalability is limited by the free spectral range (FSR) of photonic weights. …

Branch Prediction For Network Processors
… hardware accelerators when applied to network processors. Using this quantitative information, this thesis proposes an architecture which allows deeply pipelined micro-architectures to be implemented on the data-plane while reducing the branch penalty associated with these architectures.

Asynchronous MIPS Processors: Educational Simulations
… paper I discuss the advantages of asynchronous processors and the specifics of some asynchronous designs, outline the roadblocks to asynchronous processor design, and propose a series of asynchronous designs to be used by students in tandem with traditional synchronous designs when taking an …

Loop Scheduling for Multithreaded Processors
We tested MSWP on a Coral 2000 simulator, using several synthetic and SPEC benchmarks. The results we obtained encourage us to continue our research. In particular, we obtained speedups of up to 30% with respect to highly optimized superblock-based schedules on loops with unpredictable branches. We …

Evaluation of Natural Language Processors
Despite a large amount of research on developing natural language understanding programs, little work has been done on evaluating their performance or potential. The evaluations that have been done have been unsystematic and incomplete. This has lead to uncertainty and confusion over the …

Constant-frequency resonant power processors
Two constant-frequency resonant power processors are discussed. The parallel resonant converter(PRC) with a controlled output rectifier can provide both forward and reverse power flow. A new control parameter — "θ-angle" is proposed for achieving output regulation and bidirectional power flow of …

Adding limited reconfigurability to superscalar processors
… design cost pushed for their replacement by Microprocessors. These processors, capable of implementing any functionality through a change in software, are thus often called General Purpose Processors. General purpose processors are used for everyday computing tasks, and found in all personal …

Graphics Processors for an HDL Simulator
… has been developed. It consists of pre and post-processors allowing the user to model systems using pre-defined library as well as custom modules and to view their outputs in a more familiar waveform-like display. The actual coding of the models is still the responsibility of the user; the …

Flexible memory protection for multicore processors
A system’s memory access control mechanisms profoundly impact the performance, reliability, security, and composability of the software it runs. Desirable features of an access control mechanism include: the ability to grant arbitrary permissions on any region of memory to any thread in the system; …

Multithreaded architectures for manycore throughput processors
… architecture of throughput-oriented accelerator processors. First, we examine the limitations of current accelerator processors and identify an opportunity to enable high throughput while also providing a more general-purpose programming model.To address this opportunity,we present Rigel, a …

SUDS : automatic parallelization for raw processors
A computer can never be too fast or too cheap. Computer systems pervade nearly every aspect of science, engineering, communications and commerce because they perform certain tasks at rates unachievable by any other kind of system built by humans. A computer system's throughput, however, is …

Signal Breaker: Fuzzing Digital Signal Processors
… find crashes. Applications, operating systems, processors, and network protocols have been subjected to fuzzing to discover security vulnerabilities, making fuzzing one of the most successful software testing methodologies. Despite its vast application, fuzzing has yet to make its way to Digital …
