Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) is a way of improving the performance of a processor by executing operations simultaneously. Modern processors generally have an abundance of execution ...

Decades of advances in the semiconductor industry continue to drive an insatiable consumer demand for smaller, more powerful, more ubiquitous devices – whether in our cars, on our countertops or ...

OpenMP is probably the most popular tool in the world to parallelize applications running on processors, but ironically it is not a product, but rather a specification that those who make compilers ...

Reliability testing has long served as a method of ensuring that semiconductor devices maintain their desired performance over a given lifetime. As IC manufacturers continue to introduce new and ...

Testing multiple devices at the same time is not providing the equivalent reduction in overall test time due to a combination of test execution issues, the complexity of the devices being tested, and ...

p53 is a predominantly nuclear, homotetrameric protein that is usually dormant in normal, young, and unstressed cells (for a recent review, see Vousden and Lu, 2002). Various stresses, including DNA ...

High-order representations, up to the semantic level, can be accessed very rapidly from brief picture presentations 5,6. Event-related potential (ERP) experiments show that complex processing of ...
