  • 802.11 Channel Switching for High-Definition Video Streaming

    Creator:
    Sullivan, Erin
    Abstract:
    As screen resolution and video decoding capability have increased, high-definition (HD) video in resolutions as high as 1920 x 1080 is rapidly becoming the standard. Ad-hoc streaming of HD video over 802.11 wireless networks, e.g., streaming from a mobile device to a television, is convenient for users, but is hampered...

  • A comparison of task scheduling algorithms on multicomputers

    Creator:
    Shin, Chae Young
    Abstract:
    For many years, the von Neumann bottleneck has imposed speed limits on the execution of a program. Because of their sequential nature, von Neumann computers can only execute a single instruction at a time. Instructions that are side-effect free and can be executed in parallel must wait. In an effort...

  • A study of hardware/software multithreading

    Creator:
    Carlson, Ryan L.
    Abstract:
    As the design of computers advances, two important trends have surfaced: The exploitation of parallelism and the design against memory latency. Into these two new trends has come the Multithreaded Virtual Processor (MVP). Based on a standard superscalar core, the MVP is able to exploit both Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP)...

  • Adaptive semi-soft handoff for cellular IP networks

    Creator:
    Nurvitadhi, Eriko
    Abstract:
    Rapid advances in wireless networking have led to more mobile phones, PDAs, and other digital mobile devices becoming ubiquitously connected to the Internet. As the demand of delay sensitive real-time applications for these portable devices increases, providing seamless connectivity to wireless networks becomes a critical issue. For this reason, a...

  • Allocation of SISAL program graphs to processors using BLAS

    Creator:
    Raisinghani, Manoj H.
    Abstract:
    There are a number of well known techniques for extracting parallelism from a given program. They range from hardware implementations, building restructuring compilers or reorganizing of programs so as to specify all the available parallelism. The success rate of any of the known techniques is rather poor over all types...

  • Architectural support for multithreading on a 4-way multiprocessor

    Creator:
    Kim, Gwang-Myung
    Abstract:
    The microprocessors will have more than a billion logic transistors on a single chip in the near future. Several alternatives have been suggested for obtaining highest performance with billion-transistor chips. To achieve the highest performance possible, an on-chip multiprocessor will become one promising alternative to the current superscalar microprocessor. It...

  • Asymmetric clustering using a register cache

    Creator:
    Morrison, Roger Allen
    Abstract:
    Conventional register files spread porting resources uniformly across all registers. This paper proposes a method called Asymmetric Clustering using a Register Cache (ACRC). ACRC utilizes a fast register cache that concentrates valuable register file ports to the most active registers thereby reducing the total register file area and power consumption....

  • Cost-Age-Time Data Organized Garbage Collection

    Creator:
    Lee, Dongjun
    Abstract:
    NAND flash based solid state drives (SSDs) require out-of-place updating due to the characteristics of flash memories. In addition, due to the mismatched granularity between read/write and erase operations, a cleaning policy involving garbage collection and wear leveling has to perform data migration incurring high overhead. Another challenge is that...

  • Dependency speculation in dynamic simultaneous multi-threading

    Creator:
    Nelson, Jarrod A.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this thesis is to explore dependency speculation in Dynamic Simultaneous Multi-Threading (DSMT). DSMT is a microprocessor architecture which attempts to extract Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) from single-threaded programs at run-time. This is accomplished by running multiple iterations of program loops in parallel. The DSMT architecture was originally...

  • Designing a reconfigurable embedded processor

    Creator:
    Matson, John Mark
    Abstract:
    The growth of applications for embedded processors has spawned a need for highly configurable devices. Custom microprocessors have long life cycles for a fast paced market, where as off-the-shelf designs often do not provide the level of configuration, nor the ability to allow system-on-chip designs. This paper presents a description...
