Growing concerns about power have revived interest in in-order pipelines. In-order pipelines sacrifice single-thread performance. Specifically, they do not allow execution to flow...
An integrated, hardware / software co-designed CISC processor is proposed and analyzed. The objectives are high performance and reduced complexity. Although the x86 ISA is targete...

Clustering is one solution to the demand for wideissue machines and fast clock cycles because it allows for smaller, less ported register files and simpler bypass logic while rema...
Application-Specific Instruction-set Processors (ASIP) can improve execution speed by using custom instructions. Several ASIP design automation flows have been proposed recently. ...
