Each semiconductor technology generation brings us closer to the imminent processor architecture heat wall, with all its associated adverse effects on system performance and reliab...
This paper proposes an approach for reducing access count to register-files based on operand data reuse. The key idea is to compare source and destination operands of the current ...
