An important design decision in the implementation of a superscalar processor is the amount of hardware to allocate to the instruction scheduling mechanism. Dynamic scheduling pro...
The performance tradeoff between hardware complexity and clock speed is studied. First, a generic superscalar pipeline is defined. Then the specific areas of register renaming, ...

Designing and optimizing high performance microprocessors is an increasingly difficult task due to the size and complexity of the processor design space, high cost of detailed si...

We present an architecture that features dynamic multithreading execution of a single program. Threads are created automatically by hardware at procedure and loop boundaries and e...
Many studies have investigated performance improvement through exploiting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) with a particular architecture. Unfortunately, these studies indicate...
