Scalar Operand Networks: Design, Implementation, and Analysis
(2004-06-08)
The bypass paths and multiported register files in microprocessors serve as an implicit interconnect tocommunicate operand values among pipeline stages and multiple ALUs. Previous superscalar designs implementedthis ...
Middleboxes No Longer Considered Harmful
(2004-06-24)
Intermediate network elements, such as network address translators (NATs), firewalls, and transparent caches are now commonplace. The usual reaction in the network architecture community to these so-called middleboxes is ...
Data Structure Repair Using Goal-Directed Reasoning
(2004-05-18)
Model-based data structure repair is a promising techniquefor enabling programs to continue to execute successfullyin the face of otherwise fatal data structure corruption errors.Previous research in this eld relied on ...
Deionizer: A Tool for Capturing and Embedding I/O Cells
(2004-06-07)
In this paper, we introduce the concept of a deionizer. A deionizeris a special type of partial evaluator whose purpose is to create a newversion of a program that can run without accessing a partial set of I/O resources.Although ...
Analysis of delamination growth with discontinuous solid-like shell elements
(International Journal of Numerical Methods in Heat and Fluid FlowInternational Journal of Numerical Methods in Heat and Fluid Flow, 2004)
Delamination is one of the most important failure mechanisms in laminates. Normally, it is modelled using interface elements. These elements are placed between two layers that are modelled with continuum elements. The ...
New Architectural Models for Visibly Controllable Computing: The Relevance of Dynamic Object Oriented Architectures and Plan Based Computing Models
(2004-02-09)
Traditionally, we've focussed on the question of how to make a system easy to code the first time, or perhaps on how to ease the system's continued evolution. But if we look at life cycle costs, then we must conclude ...
Face processing in humans is compatible with a simple shape-based model of vision
(2004-03-05)
Understanding how the human visual system recognizes objects is one of the key challenges in neuroscience. Inspired by a large body of physiological evidence (Felleman and Van Essen, 1991; Hubel and Wiesel, 1962; Livingstone ...

Predicting Unroll Factors Using Nearest Neighbors
(2004-03-22)
In order to deliver the promise of Moore s Law to the enduser, compilers must make decisions that are intimately tiedto a specific target architecture. As engineers add architecturalfeatures to increase performance, systems ...
Evaluation of sets of oriented and non-oriented receptive fields as local descriptors
(2004-03-24)
Local descriptors are increasingly used for the task of object recognition because of their perceived robustness with respect to occlusions and to global geometrical deformations. We propose a performance criterion for a ...
