As superscalar processors become increasingly wide, it is inevitable that the large set of instructions to be fetched every cycle will span multiple noncontiguous basic blocks. Th...
User-controllable coherence revives the idea of cooperation between software and hardware in an attempt to bridge the gap between efficient small-scale shared memory machines and m...
We describe an effort to prototype an Itanium microarchitecture using an FPGA. The microarchitecture model is written in the Bluespec hardware description language (HDL) and suppo...
The performance of the data memory hierarchy is extremely important in current and near future high performance superscalar microprocessors. To address the memory gap, computer de...
Hyperthreaded(HT) and simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) processors are now available in commodity workstations and servers. This technology is designed to increase throughput by ex...
