—CPR (Checkpoint Processing and Recovery) is a physical register management scheme that supports a larger instruction window and higher average IPC than conventional ROB-style re...
Aggressive compiler optimizations such as software pipelining and loop invariant code motion can significantly improve application performance, but these transformations often re...

Energy efficiency is rapidly becoming a first class optimization parameter for modern systems. Caches are critical to the overall performance and thus, modern processors (both hig...
— We propose a low-leakage register file cell design based on the observation that the physical registers in a superscalar processor have very short life cycles. When a register...
