Increasingly tight energy design goals require processor architects to rethink the organizational structure of microarchitectural resources. In this paper, we examine a new multila...
Microprocessor designers have been torn between tight constraints on the amount of on-chip cache memory and the high latency of off-chip memory, such as dynamic random access memor...

Recently we proposed a new clocking scheme, injection-locked clocking (ILC), to combat deteriorating clock skew and jitter, and hence reduce power consumption in highperformance mi...

Powerful branch predictors along with a large branch target buffer (BTB) are employed in superscalar processors for instruction-level parallelism exploitation. However, the large ...
