In order to incorporate the reduced instruction set and the multimedia extension instruction set in a unifying pipeline, a scalable super-pipeline technique is adopted. Several other optimization techniques are proposed to boost the frequency and reduce the average CPI of the unifying pipeline. Based on a data flow graph (DFG) with delay information, the critical path of the pipeline stage can be located and shortened. This paper presents a distributed data bypass unit and a centralized pipeline control scheme for achieving lower CPI. Synthesis and simulation showed that the optimization techniques enable RISC3200 to operate at 200 MHz with an average CPI of 1.16. The core was integrated into a media SOC chip taped out in SMIC 0.18-micron technology. Preliminary testing result showed that the processor works well as we expected.展开更多

Current digital forensic approaches mainly focus on memory and I/O data, while the runtime instructions from processes are often ignored. We present a novel approach on runtime instruction forensic analysis and have developed a forensic system which collects instruction flow and extracts digital evidence. The system is based on whole-system emulation technique and analysts are allowed to define analysis strategy to improve analysis efficiency and reduce overhead. This forensic approach and system are applicable to binary code analysis, information retrieval and matware forensics.展开更多

Due to the need for faster systems in today＇s world, parallelism can be used to accelerate applications. Nowadays, parallel operations are used to solve computer problems such as sort and search, which result in a reasonable speed. Sorting is one of the most important operations in computing world. The authors always try to find the best in different areas which the premier is speedup. In this paper, the authors issued a sort with O（logn） time complexity on PRAM EREW （Parallel Random Access Machine Exclusive Read Exclusive Write）. The algorithm is designed in a manner that keeps the tradeoff between the number of processor elements in the architecture and execution time. The simulation of the algorithm proves the theoretical analysis of the algorithm. The results of this research can be utilized in developing faster embedded systems. Sorting on Centralized Diamond （SOCD） algorithm is issued on the novel Centralized Diamond architecture which takes the advantages of Single Instruction Multiple Data （SIMD） architecture. This architecture and the sort on it are intuitive and optimal.展开更多
