This paper proposes a consistency-free memory architecture for sort-last parallel rendering processors, in which a consistency-free pixel cache architecture is devised and effectively associated with three different memory systems consisting of a single frame buffer, a memory interface unit, and consistency-test units.
JOP (Java Optimized Processor) tackles this problem from the architectural perspective – by introducing a processor architecture in which simpler and more accurate WCET analysis is more important than average case performance.
The first is new "multi-core" processor chips, in which performance is improved not by increasing clock speed, but by building several processing engines, or "cores", into each chip a far more energy-efficient approach.
However, the algorithmic behaviour changes noticeably depending on by which processor, and in which order, memory is accessed.
The current posterior values required for each parity check are already located in the stream-processor lane in which the parity check is performed since the updates of the same values have just been completed in the same lane.
Gossiping is an extensively investigated information dissemination process in which each processor has a distinct item of information and has to collect all the items possessed by the other processors.
This board has a soft-core processor in it which is called Nios II.
Processor simulators are important parts of processor design toolsets in which they are used to verify and evaluate the properties of the designed processors.
In Fig. 2, for instance, Receiver depends on Sender, and Post-Processor depends on Processor, which in turn depends on Pre-Processor, and Pre-Processor depends on Data Gathering.
Enough people agree with Mr. Zinsser so that this summer, Microsoft will offer the next version of its word processor, Word XP, in which the Office Assistant "is off by default, so you have to make the effort to turn it on," said Lisa Burry, a Microsoft product manager.
