As the gap between memory and processor speeds continues to widen, cache efficiency is an increasingly important component of processor performance. Compiler techniques have been...
Power density in high-performance processors continues to increase with technology generations as scaling of current, clock speed, and device density outpaces the downscaling of s...

— We propose a low-leakage register file cell design based on the observation that the physical registers in a superscalar processor have very short life cycles. When a register...
