A new approach for power analysis of microprocessorshas recently been proposed [1]. The idea is to look at the power consumption in a microprocessor from the point of view of the ...
To meet performance requirements as well as constraints on cost and power consumption, future embedded systems will be designed with multi-core processors. However, the question o...
Continuing advances in semiconductor technology and demand for higher performance will lead to more powerful, superpipelined and wider issue processors. Instruction caches in such ...
Trace-driven simulation of superscalar processors is particularly complicated. The dynamic nature of superscalar processors combined with the static nature of traces can lead to l...
