Spread the loveA program counter (PC) is a special register in the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer that stores the memory address of the next instruction that will be executed by the ...

We also experimented with counter statistics-assisted CPU scheduling using two server applications. The first is the Apache 2.0.44 web server hosting a set of video clips, synthetically generated ...

Today we heard from [Richard James Howe] about his new CPU. This new 16-bit CPU is implemented in VHDL for an FPGA. The really cool thing about this CPU is that it eschews the typical program count… ...

A register in the control unit of the CPU that is used to keep track of the address of the current or next instruction. Typically, the program counter is advanced to the next instruction, and then ...

Protection against hardware security issues like Hardware Trojans (HTs) in Integrated Circuits (ICs) is a major concern. Safeguarding crucial assets of the microprocessor has become vital in order to ...

Today's processors provide a rich source of statistical information on program execution characteristics through hardware counters. However, traditionally, operating system (OS) support for and ...
