Energy, power, and area efficiency are critical design concerns for embedded processors. Much of the energy of a typical embedded processor is consumed in the front-end since inst...
Branch prediction has enabled microprocessors to increase instruction level parallelism (ILP) by allowing programs to speculatively execute beyond control boundaries. Although spe...
Powerful branch predictors along with a large branch target buffer (BTB) are employed in superscalar processors for instruction-level parallelism exploitation. However, the large ...
Background: When accurate models for the divergent evolution of protein sequences are integrated with complementary biological information, such as folded protein structures, anal...
— General purpose architectures are designed to offer average high performance regardless of the particular application that is being run. Performance and power inefficiencies a...
