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...
In many scientific domains, researchers are turning to large-scale behavioral simulations to better understand real-world phenomena. While there has been a great deal of work on s...
