ReadyPower: A Reliable, Interpretable, and Handy Architectural Power Model Based on Analytical Framework
Qijun Zhang, Shang Liu, Yao Lu +2
Power is a primary objective in modern processor design, requiring accurate yet efficient power modeling techniques. Architecture-level power models are necessary for early power o…
ArchPower: Dataset for Architecture-Level Power Modeling of Modern CPU Design
Qijun Zhang, Yao Lu, Mengming Li +2
Power is the primary design objective of large-scale integrated circuits (ICs), especially for complex modern processors (i.e., CPUs). Accurate CPU power evaluation requires design…
AutoPower: Automated Few-Shot Architecture-Level Power Modeling by Power Group Decoupling
Qijun Zhang, Yao Lu, Mengming Li +1
Power efficiency is a critical design objective in modern CPU design. Architects need a fast yet accurate architecture-level power evaluation tool to perform early-stage power esti…
Profile-Guided Temporal Prefetching
Mengming Li, Qijun Zhang, Yichuan Gao +4
Temporal prefetching shows promise for handling irregular memory access patterns, which are common in data-dependent and pointer-based data structures. Recent studies introduced on…
Integrating Prefetcher Selection with Dynamic Request Allocation Improves Prefetching Efficiency
Mengming Li, Qijun Zhang, Yongqing Ren +1
Hardware prefetching plays a critical role in hiding the off-chip DRAM latency. The complexity of applications results in a wide variety of memory access patterns, prompting the de…
AssertLLM: Generating Hardware Verification Assertions from Design Specifications via Multi-LLMs
Zhiyuan Yan, Wenji Fang, Mengming Li +4
Assertion-based verification (ABV) is a critical method to ensure logic designs comply with their architectural specifications. ABV requires assertions, which are generally convert…
