— On current superscalar processors, performance and power issues cannot be decoupled for designers. Extensive simulations are usually required to meet both power and performance...
Abstract. As process technology scales down, power wall starts to hinder improvements in processor performance. Performance optimization has to proceed under a power constraint. Th...
Two of the most important design issues for modern processors are power and performance. It is important for students in computer organization classes to understand the tradeoff b...
Abstract. The load-store queue (LQ-SQ) of modern superscalar processors is responsible for keeping the order of memory operations. As the performance gap between processing speed a...
Multimedia processing on embedded devices requires an architecture that leads to high performance, low power consumption, reduced design complexity, and small code size. In this p...
