Three-Dimensional integration provides a simultaneous improvement in wire-related delay and power consumption of microprocessor circuits. Prior work has looked at the performance,...
In modern superscalar processors, the complex instruction scheduler could form the critical path of the pipeline stages and limit the clock cycle time. In addition, complex schedu...
Functional validation is a major bottleneck in microprocessor design methodology. Simulation is the widely used method for functional validation using billions of random and biase...
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...
