    • Bitwidth Analysis with Application to Silicon Compilation 

      Stephenson, Mark; Babb, Jonathan; Amarasinghe, Saman (1999-11)
      In this paper introduces Bitwise, a compiler that minimizes the bitwidth - the number of bits used to represent each operand - for both integers and pointers in a program. By propagating static information both forward and ...

    • Space - Time Scheduling of Instruction-Level Parallelism on a Raw Machine 

      Lee, Walter; Barua, R.; Srikrishna, D.; Babb, Jonathan; Sarkar, V.; e.a. (1997-12)
      Advances in VLSI technology will enable chips with over a billion transistors within the next decade. Unfortunately, the centralized-resource architectures of modern microprocessors are ill-suited to exploit such advances. ...

    • Virtual Wires: Overcoming Pin Limitations in FPGA-based Logic Emulators 

      Babb, Jonathan; Tessier, Russell; Agarwal, Anant (1992-11)
      Existing FPGA-based logic emulators suffer from limited inter-chip communication bandwidth, resulting in low gate utilization (10 20 percent). This resource imbalance increases the number of chips needed to emulate a ...
