Delayed branching is a technique to alleviate branch hazards without expensive hardware branch prediction mechanisms. For VLIW processors with deep pipelines and many issue slots,...
Wire delays are a major concern for current and forthcoming processors. One approach to attack this problem is to divide the processor into semi-independent units referred to as c...
A Zero Overhead Loop Buffer (ZOLB) is an architectural feature that is commonly found in DSP processors. This buffer can be viewed as a compiler managed cache that contains a sequ...
