As the CMOS technology is scaled into the dimension of nanometer, the clock frequencies and die sizes of ICs are shown to be increasing steadily [5]. Today, global wires that requ...
Graph coloring is the dominant paradigm for global register allocation [8, 7, 4]. Coloring allocators use an interference graph, Z, to model conflicts that prevent two values from ...
The compiler is generally regarded as the most important software component that supports a processor design to achieve success. This paper describes our application of the open re...
—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 ...
