Developing the AMD-K5 Architecture

The K5TM microprocessor project at AMD created the basis for Advanced Micro Devices' first independently designed implementations of the x86 architecture. The first-time nature of this project, coupled with the complexity of the x86 architecture, ...
Neural Architecture Search via Proxy Validation
This paper searches for the optimal neural architecture by minimizing a proxy of validation loss. Existing neural architecture search (NAS) methods used to discover the optimal neural architecture that best fits the validation examples given the up-to-...
Automatic and continuous software architecture validation
