—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
A machine’s performance is the product of its IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) and clock frequency. Recently, Palacharla, Jouppi, and Smith [3] warned that the dynamic instruction s...
Detailed microarchitectural simulators are not well suited for exploring large design spaces due to their excessive simulation times. We introduce AXCIS, a framework for fast and ...
Conventional high-performance processors utilize register renaming and complex broadcast-based scheduling logic to steer instructions into a small number of heavily-pipelined exec...
The performance impact of the Physical Register File (PRF) size on Simultaneous Multithreading processors has not been extensively studied in spite of being a critical shared reso...
