One of the main challenges of modern processor design is the implementation of a scalable and efficient mechanism to detect memory access order violations as a result of out-of-o...
With power dissipation becoming an increasingly vexing problem across many classes of computer systems, measuring power dissipation of real, running systems has become crucial for...
Ensuring back-to-back execution of dependent instructions in a conventional out-of-order processor requires scheduling logic that wakes up and selects instructions at the same rat...
During the concept phase and definition of next generation high-end processors, power and performance will need to be weighted appropriately to deliver competitive cost/performan...
