Charged with the task of improving yield, product engineers need to find the location of defects in manufactured ICs quickly and efficiently. Typically, they use volume scan diagnosis to generate ...
In a symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) system, the ability to reassign processors, memory and I/O to specific applications on the fly without shutting down the machine. The reassignment can be done by ...
The Memory Partitioning and Monitoring (MPAM) Arm architecture supplement allows for memory resources (MPAM MSCs) to be partitioned using PARTID identifiers. This allows privileged software, like OSes ...
Scenarios 5 and 6, depicted by the green band in Figure 6, add cache partitioning. Partitioning the L2 cache among applications reduces the amount of cache available to each application, reducing ...
Even with today’s powerful multicore processors, system designers must make sure that processes share resources correctly. Time partitioning is a key technique for ensuring that an OS correctly shares ...
