The paper examines a simple conceptual modification of the operation unit of a RISC processor. We propose to substitute a part of the conventional general purpose register file by...
An Application Specific Instruction Set Processor (ASIP) exploits special characteristics of the given application(s) to meet the desired performance, cost and power requirements....
Interprocedural data flow analyses of executable programs suffer from the conservative assumptions that need to be made because no precise control flow graph is available and beca...
The register file is one of the most critical datapath components limiting the number of threads that can be supported on a Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processor. To allow t...
Today’s superscalar microprocessors use large, heavily-ported physical register files (RFs) to increase the instruction throughput. The high complexity and power dissipation of ...
