Decoupled Value Prediction on Trace Processors
Value prediction is a technique that breaks true data dependences by predicting the outcome of an instruction, and executes speculatively its data-dependent instructions based on ...

A Comparison of Asymptotically Scalable Superscalar Processors
The poor scalability of existing superscalar processors has been of great concern to the computer engineering community. In particular, the critical-path lengths of many components...

Drowsy instruction caches: leakage power reduction using dynamic voltage scaling and cache sub-bank prediction
On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...
