The performance of the data memory hierarchy is extremely important in current and near future high performance superscalar microprocessors. To address the memory gap, computer de...
Out-of-order execution significantly increases the performance of superscalar processors. The out-of-order execution mechanism is, however, energy-inefficient, which inhibits scal...

Abstract-- The power consumption of microprocessors has been increasing in step with the complexity of each progressive generation. In general purpose processors, this is primarily...
An analytical performance model for out of order issue superscalar micro-processors is presented. This model quantifies the performance impacts of micro-architecture design option...
The issue logic of a superscalar processor dissipates a large amount of static and dynamic power. Furthermore, its power density makes it a hot-spot requiring expensive cooling sy...
