The advance in semiconductor technologies presents the serious problem of parameter variations. They affect threshold voltage of transistors and thus circuit delay has variability...
Some instructions have more impact on processor performance than others. Identification of these critical instructions can be used to modify and improve instruction processing. Pr...

Moore’s law describes the growth in on-chip transistor density, which doubles every 18 to 24 months and looks set to continue for at least a decade and possibly longer. This grow...
—The contribution of memory latency to execution time continues to increase, and latency hiding mechanisms become ever more important for efficient processor design. While high-...
