An increasingly large portion of scheduler latency is derived from the monolithic content addressable memory (CAM) arrays accessed during instruction wakeup. The performance of th...
We have fabricated a Chip Multiprocessor prototype code-named Merlot to proof our novel speculative multithreading architecture. On Merlot, multiple threads provide wider issue wi...
A machine’s performance is the product of its IPC (Instructions Per Cycle) and clock frequency. Recently, Palacharla, Jouppi, and Smith [3] warned that the dynamic instruction s...
Value Prediction is a relatively new technique to increase instruction-level parallelism by breaking true data dependence chains. A value prediction architecture produces values, ...
Since there is generally insufficient instruction level parallelism within a single basic block, higher performance is achieved by speculatively scheduling operations in superbloc...
