ABSTRACT
Adopting an ESL based design and validation methodology, we introduce a top-down approach for efficient debugging of microarchitectural specification and RTL implementation. Our solution is based on the formalism introduced by statistical transactional analysis that we call MAGENTA -- <u>M</u>odeling <u>AGENT</u> for <u>T</u>ransactional <u>A</u>nalysis. To the best of our knowledge, MAGENTA based root-cause analysis pioneers in the efficient characterization of the micro-architectural design misbehavior via abstraction of validation output by transactions and micro-architectural events.

Estimating the amount of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks in arbitrary colour pictures
This paper is concerned with the offset lithographic colour printing. To obtain high quality colour prints, given proportions of cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K) inks (four primary inks used in the printing process) should be accurately ...
An evaluation of speculative instruction execution on simultaneous multithreaded processors
Modern superscalar processors rely heavily on speculative execution for performance. For example, our measurements show that on a 6-issue superscalar, 93% of committed instructions for SPECINT95 are speculative. Without speculation, processor resources ...
Magenta Green Screen: Spectrally Multiplexed Alpha Matting with Deep Colorization
DigiPro '23: Proceedings of the Digital Production SymposiumWe introduce Magenta Green Screen, a novel machine learning–enabled matting technique for recording the color image of a foreground actor and a simultaneous high-quality alpha channel without requiring a special camera or manual keying techniques. We ...
