Deeply pipelined high performance processors require highly accurate branch prediction to drive their instruction fetch. However there remains a class of events which are not easi...
In the global economy, proper organisation and planning of production and storage locations, transportation and scheduling are vital to retain the competitive edge of companies. Th...
This paper briefly reviews the current research into RISC microprocessor architecture, which now seems to be so complex as to make the acronym somewhat of an oxymoron. In response...
We introduce dependence-based pre-computation as a complement to history-based target prediction schemes. We present pre-computation in the context of virtual function calls (v-ca...
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has evolved from a fixedfunction processor with programmable stages to a programmable processor with many fixed-function components that deliver...
