In high-end processors, increasing the number of in-flight instructions can improve performance by overlapping useful processing with long-latency accesses to the main memory. Buf...
A large multi-ported register file is indispensable for exploiting instruction level parallelism (ILP) in today's dynamically scheduled superscalar processors. The number of ...
With the constant advances in technology that lead to the increasing of the transistor count and processor frequency, power dissipation is becoming one of the major issues in high...
This paper advocates that cache coherence protocols use a bandwidth adaptive approach to adjust to varied system configurations (e.g., number of processors) and workload behaviors...

fipical translation lookaside buffers (TLBs)can map a far smaller region of memory than application footprints demand, and the cost of handling TLB misses therefore limits the per...
