The bi-mode bramch predictor
The general requirements of the paper report are as follows:
The report must include the following sections: (3 pages total, additional pages will be ignored)
•Research paper title and your name
•Provide a short summary of the paper
•What is the strength? (important)
•What is the weakness? (important)
•Provide comments in ways that the paper can be improved
•Talk about related work published more recently (1-2 paragraphs only)
The following is a suggested format for your course-related research or term paper. The general guidelines are followed by sample title pages.
Page 1Title page should contain all of the following (see the sample title pages below):
Title of quoted paper
Name of original author(s)
Summarized by "Your Names"
Your Student IDs
Telephone number(s) and e-mail address for quick contact in case of questions
"Research Paper for CSCI/EENG x", where x is the course number (741, etc.)
"ABSTRACT", where it must be centered of the column.
Body of abstract (summary of contributions and/or results; no more than 1 paragraph)
"Keywords:" followed by 5 to 10 keywords and key phrases describing the content
Pages 2 - k"1. INTRODUCTION"
Give background on the topic (provide context and include references on prior work), justify your interest in the topic, prepare the readers for what they will find in later sections, and summarize (in a few sentences) your main findings and/or contributions. This section must be kept short. If it exceeds, say, 1 page, you may wish to break it up by including an additional section that covers the necessary details for one or more of the above aspects. Use a descriptive title such as "2. REVIEW OF PRIOR WORK" or "2. NOTABLE APPLICATIONS OF ... " for this section.
Pages (k+1) - l Body of the paper (2 -3 pages are considered reasonable) should consist of sections dealing with various aspects of the investigation as appropriate; e.g., theory, applications, design issues, tradeoffs, evaluation, experiments, comparisons with other methods or approaches. Don't be afraid to compare, criticize, and generally leave your personal mark on the paper. There is no general rule, except that subdivisions must be coherent and of reasonable length. Avoid the extremes of single-paragraph and 10-page sections. For very long sections, consider dividing up or moving some details to an appendix.
Pages (l+1) - m"q. CONCLUSION"
Give a brief summary (in a few sentences) of what has been presented and/or accomplished. Emphasize the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed approach, technique, or design. Discuss possible extensions of the work and any interesting/open problem that you can envisage. Like the INTRODUCTION, this section must be fairly short.
Pages (m+1) - n "REFERENCES", where it must be centered of the column.
Provide complete bibliographic information for each reference (see any paper in IEEE Trans. Computers for examples). As a rule of thumb, citing 5-20 references is reasonable; review or survey-type papers tend to have much more extensive bibliographies and original contributions breaking new ground may have fewer references. However, don't take this rule too seriously.
Figures/Tables If possible, include each figure or table close to where it is first referenced in the text. Figures and tables must be numbered and have descriptive captions. Elements of figures (boxes, curves, axes) and tables (columns and/or rows) must be clearly labeled, with units shown where appropriate. Do not copy/paste figures or tables from books, journals, or conference papers.
Special Notes I will keep all submitted papers for grading purpose. Please make a copy for yourself before submitting. Plagiarism, in any form (outright copying or failure to properly credit ideas), will not be tolerated and will result in a failing grade.
There are many good references to help you with research methodology and technical writing. The following book, which covers writing techniques, research methods, refereeing, and oral presentations is particularly recommended.
