Instruction Level Parallelism through Microthreading - A Scalable Approach to Chip Multiprocessors
Most microprocessor chips today use an out-of-order instruction execution mechanism. This mechanism allows superscalar processors to extract reasonably high levels of instruction ...

Parallelism in the Front-End
As processor back-ends get more aggressive, front-ends will have to scale as well. Although the back-ends of superscalar processors have continued to become more parallel, the fro...

Selective writeback: exploiting transient values for energy-efficiency and performance
Today’s superscalar microprocessors use large, heavily-ported physical register files (RFs) to increase the instruction throughput. The high complexity and power dissipation of ...
