Control-flow misprediction penalties are a major impediment to high performance in wide-issue superscalar processors. In this paper we present Selective Eager Execution (SEE), an ...
: Molecular dynamics simulation based on discrete event simulation (DMD) is emerging as an alternative to time-step driven molecular dynamics (MD). DMD uses simplified discretized ...
Instruction scheduling hardware can be simplified and easily pipelined if pairs of dependent instructions are fused so they share a single instruction scheduling slot. We study an...
Designing high-performance low-energy register files is of critical importance to the continuation of current performance advances in wide-issue and deeply pipelined superscalar m...
