Most microprocessor chips today use an out-of-order instruction execution mechanism. This mechanism allows superscalar processors to extract reasonably high levels of instruction ...
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...
Reconfigurable hardware has the potential for significant performance improvements by providing support for application−specific operations. We report our experience with Chimae...

Large register file with multiple ports, but with a minimal access time, is a critical component in a superscalar processor. Analysis of the lifetime of a logical to physical reg...
Today’s superscalar microprocessors use large, heavily-ported physical register files (RFs) to increase the instruction throughput. The high complexity and power dissipation of ...
