Dynamically Exploiting Narrow Width Operands to Improve Processor Power and Performance
In general-purpose microprocessors, recent trends have pushed towards 64-bit word widths, primarily to accommodate the large addressing needs of some programs. Many integer proble...

A Small, Fast and Low-Power Register File by Bit-Partitioning
A large multi-ported register file is indispensable for exploiting instruction level parallelism (ILP) in today's dynamically scheduled superscalar processors. The number of ...

Software-Controlled Operand-Gating
Operand gating is a technique for improving processor energy efficiency by gating off sections of the data path that are unneeded by short-precision (narrow) operands. A method fo...

Exploiting data-width locality to increase superscalar execution bandwidth
In a 64-bit processor, many of the data values actually used in computations require much narrower data-widths. In this study, we demonstrate that instruction data-widths exhibit ...
