1. An Automated and Controlled Numerical Precision Reduction Framework for GPUs
Abstract : Reducing the precision of floating-point values is an effective approach to achieve higher performance as well as higher energy-efficiency. This is especially true for GPUs, since many of its common tasks are inherently insensitive to precision-reduction. READ MORE

2. Approximation and Compression Techniques to Enhance Performance of Graphics Processing Units
Abstract : A key challenge in modern computing systems is to access data fast enough to fully utilize the computing elements in the chip. In Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), the performance is often constrained by register file size, memory bandwidth, and the capacity of the main memory. READ MORE

4. Using wormhole switching for networks on chip : feasibility analysis and microarchitecture adaptation
Abstract : Network-on-Chip (NoC) is proposed as a systematic approach to address future System-on-Chip (SoC) design difficulties. Due to its good performance and small buffering requirement, wormhole switching is being considered as a main network flow control mechanism for on-chip networks. READ MORE

5. Rethinking Speculative Execution from a Security Perspective
Abstract : Speculative out-of-order execution is one of the fundamental building blocks of modern, high-performance processors. To maximize the utilization of the system's resources, hardware and software security checks in the speculative domain can be temporarily ignored, without affecting the correctness of the application, as long as no architectural changes are made before transitioning to the non-speculative domain.
