Current-generation microprocessors are designed to process instructions with one and two source operands at equal cost. Handling two source operands requires multiple ports for ea...
The high arithmetic rates of media processing applications require architectures with tens to hundreds of functional units, multiple register files, and explicit interconnect betw...

Large register file with multiple ports is a critical component of a high-performance processor. A large number of registers are necessary for processing a larger number of in-fli...
The register file access time is one of the critical delays in current superscalar processors. Its impact on processor performance is likely to increase in future processor genera...
