What's ahead in computer design?
CMOS technology should, over the next few years, reach lithography of under 0.1¡ . This provides a die area improvement of a factor of 10 over today’s technology. What is the b...

Improving trace cache hit rates using the sliding window fill mechanism and fill select table
As superscalar processors become increasingly wide, it is inevitable that the large set of instructions to be fetched every cycle will span multiple noncontiguous basic blocks. Th...

By-passing the out-of-order execution pipeline to increase energy-efficiency
Out-of-order execution significantly increases the performance of superscalar processors. The out-of-order execution mechanism is, however, energy-inefficient, which inhibits scal...

Characterizing the branch misprediction penalty
Despite years of study, branch mispredictions remain as a significant performance impediment in pipelined superscalar processors. In general, the branch misprediction penalty can...

Evaluating Instruction Set Extensions for Fast Arithmetic on Binary Finite Fields
Binary finite fields GF(2n ) are very commonly used in cryptography, particularly in publickey algorithms such as Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC). On word-oriented programmable ...
