| Summary: | This work would not have been possible without the help and support of a number of my colleagues, friends and family. Thanks first go to Professor Scott Mahlke, my advisor through all my years in graduate school and during the last few years of college. A constant source of ideas and always full of energy and alacrity, Scott was a great advisor and a great teacher. I would like to thank my thesis committee for providing their thoughts and suggestions for a number of my projects. Professor David Blaauw was a tremendous resource during my investigation of various power-reduction techniques. Professor Jeffrey Fessler was instrumental in providing a real-world look at medical imaging and scientific computing. Professor Trevor Mudge was effectively my co-advisor and heavily influenced the direction of my research into SIMD and power-efficient architectures. While they were not my advisors in any official capacity, Professor James Freudenberg and Professor Mark Brehob were both very positive influences on my undergraduate and graduate careers at Michigan and provided sound advice at many pivotal points over the last several years. iii My work in industry heavily influenced the ideas and solutions in this thesis. For providing me with a window into “the real world”, I thank Krisztian Flautner, David Bull, Sami Yehia, and Shidhartha Das at ARM; and Mikhail Smelyanskiy and Victor Lee at Intel. I had some amazing colleagues while at Michigan. Thanks first go to Ankit Sethia and Vincentius Robby who put up with my requests for the projects they helped me complete. |
