The paper proposes a novel software-pipelining algorithm, Register Sensitive Force Directed Retiming Algorithm (RSFDRA), suitable for optimizing compilers targeting embedded VLIW ...
In many workloads, 25% to 50% of instructions have slack allowing them to be delayed without impacting performance. To exploit this slack, processors may implement more power-efï¬...
The impact of pipeline length on the performance of a microprocessor is explored both theoretically and by simulation. An analytical theory is presented that shows two opposing ar...
The memory consistency model supported by a multiprocessor directly affects its performance. Thus, several attempts have been made to relax the consistency models to allow for mor...
