Register renaming is a widely used technique to remove false data dependencies in superscalar datapaths. Rename logic consists of a table that holds a physical register mapping for...
An analytical performance model for out of order issue superscalar micro-processors is presented. This model quantifies the performance impacts of micro-architecture design option...
Statistical simulation is driven by a stream of randomly generated instructions, based on statistics collected during a single detailed simulation. This method can give accurate p...
Complexity arises from many sources – both within and outwith the system. Internal sources include modern hardware, e.g. super-scalar processors, and external sources include th...
This paper describes the DELFT-JAVA processor and the mechanisms required to dynamically translate JVM instructions into DELFT-JAVA instructions. Using a form of hardware register...
