Front-End Policies for Improved Issue Efficiency in SMT Processors

The performance and power optimization of dynamic superscalar microprocessors requires striking a careful balance between exploiting parallelism and hardware simplification. Hardware structures which are needlessly complex may exacerbate critical timing paths and dissipate extra power. One such structure requiring careful design is the issue queue. In a Simultaneous Multi-Threading (SMT) proces...

PNX3000 Analog front end for digital video processors

The PNX3000 is an analog front end for digital video processors. It contains an IF circuit for both analog and digital broadcast signals, input selectors and Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) for analog video and audio signals. The digital output signals are made available via three serial data links.

Blood to brain yet again.

End-to-End Simulation: The Front End

For the intense beams in heavy ion fusion accelerators, details of the beam distribution as it emerges from the source region can determine the beam behavior well downstream. This occurs because collective space-charge modes excited as the beam is born remain undamped for many focusing periods. Traditional studies of the source region in particle beam systems have emphasized the behavior of ave...
