As we look to the future, and the prospect of a billion transistors on a chip, it seems inevitable that microprocessors will exploit having multiple parallel threads. To achieve t...
Load latency remains a significant bottleneck in dynamically scheduled pipelined processors. Load speculation techniques have been proposed to reduce this latency. Dependence Pred...
Several studies have demonstrated that out-of-order execution processors may not be the most adequate organization for wide issue processors due to the increasing penalties that w...
