The physical register file is an important component of a dynamically-scheduled processor. Increasing the amount of parallelism places increasing demands on the physical register...
When modern processors keep increasing the instruction window size and the issue width to exploit more instruction-level parallelism (ILP), the demand of larger physical register ...
—Localized heating-up creates thermal hotspots across the chip, with the integer register file ranked as the hottest unit in high-performance microprocessors. In this paper, we ...
