To minimize the performance advantage of specialized hardware, a proof of work (PoW) algorithm must achieve device binding by targeting specific features of existing general-purpose hardware. This is ...
CPU speeds used to be the main bottleneck in applications, but over time, CPUs have gotten faster and faster. Along with the rise of big data, applications’ use of large datasets and consequent memory ...
A 37-year-old compiler is gaining support for a new language… although as that language is 57 years old, we are possibly stretching the adjective "new" more than our post-holiday waistband. An ...
Over the past decade I have been involved in several projects that have designed either instruction set architecture (ISA) extensions or clean-slate ISAs for various kinds of processors (you will even ...
Compilers often translate source code for a high-level language, such as C++, to object code for the current computer architecture, such as Intel x64. The object modules produced from multiple ...
Digital circuits are composed of logic functions which are then implemented using building blocks. AND, OR and NOT are basic building blocks of every digital logic. Many different modules are created ...
Abstract: Memristive devices promise an alternative approach toward non-Von Neumann architectures, where specific computational tasks are performed within the memory devices. In the machine learning ...
This paper reports on the development and formal verification (proof of semantic preservation) of CompCert, a compiler from Clight (a large subset of the C programming language) to PowerPC assembly ...
