Chained In-Order/Out-of-Order DoubleCore Architecture
Complexity is one of the most important problems facing microarchitects. It is exacerbated by the application of optimizations, by scaling to higher issue widths and, in general, ...

Dynamic Data Dependence Tracking and its Application to Branch Prediction
To continue to improve processor performance, microarchitects seek to increase the effective instruction level parallelism (ILP) that can be exploited in applications. A fundament...

Software-hardware cooperative memory disambiguation
In high-end processors, increasing the number of in-flight instructions can improve performance by overlapping useful processing with long-latency accesses to the main memory. Buf...

Scalable Store-Load Forwarding via Store Queue Index Prediction
Conventional processors use a fully-associative store queue (SQ) to implement store-load forwarding. Associative search latency does not scale well to capacities and bandwidths re...

Ginger: control independence using tag rewriting
The negative performance impact of branch mis-predictions can be reduced by exploiting control independence (CI). When a branch mis-predicts, the wrong-path instructions up to the...
