We describe an effort to prototype an Itanium microarchitecture using an FPGA. The microarchitecture model is written in the Bluespec hardware description language (HDL) and suppo...
Scaling of CMOS technology causes the power supply voltages to fall and supply currents to rise at the same time as operating speeds are increasing. Falling supply voltages cause ...
Untolerated load instruction latencies often have a significant impact on overall program performance. As one means of mitigating this effect, we present an aggressive hardware-b...
Since the onset of pipelined processors, balancing the delay of the microarchitectural pipeline stages such that each microarchitectural pipeline stage has an equal delay has been...
