An integrated, hardware / software co-designed CISC processor is proposed and analyzed. The objectives are high performance and reduced complexity. Although the x86 ISA is targete...

We describe an effort to prototype an Itanium microarchitecture using an FPGA. The microarchitecture model is written in the Bluespec hardware description language (HDL) and suppo...
We present a novel framework for defining memory models in terms of two properties: thread-local Instruction Reordering axioms and Store Atomicity, which describes inter-thread c...
In this paper, we look at two issues which could affect the performance of value prediction on wide-issue ILP processors. One is the large number of accesses to the value predicti...
Heterogeneous multicores, such as Cell BE processors and GPGPUs, typically do not have caches for their accelerator cores because coherence traffic, cache misses, and latencies fr...
