The use of large instruction windows coupled with aggressive out-oforder and prefetching capabilities has provided significant improvements in processor performance. In this paper...
While improving raw performance is of primary interest to most users of high-performance computers, energy consumption also is a critical concern. Some microprocessors allow volta...
The volume of online data content has shown an un precedented growth in recent years. Fueling this growth are new federal regulations which warrant longer data re tention and ...

Level one cache normally resides on a processor’s critical path, which determines the clock frequency. Directmapped caches exhibit fast access time but poor hit rates compared w...
Reducing circuit's peak current plays an important role in circuit reliability in deep sub-micron era. For sequential circuits, it is observed that the peak current has a str...
