Simulation is an important means of evaluating new microarchitectures. Current trends toward chip multiprocessors (CMPs) try the ability of designers to develop efficient simulato...

Allowing loads to issue out-of-order with respect to earlier unresolved store addresses is very important for extracting parallelism in large-window superscalar processors. Blindl...
Pipeline gating has been proposed for reducing wasted speculative execution due to branch mispredictions. As processors become deeper or wider, pipeline gating becomes more import...

Mispredicted branches and loads that miss in the cache cause the majority of retirement stalls experienced by sequential processors; we call these critical instructions. Despite t...
Network performance in tightly-coupled multiprocessors typically degrades rapidly beyond network saturation. Consequently, designers must keep a network below its saturation point...
