As the number of devices available per chip continues to increase, the computational potential of future computer architectures grows likewise. While this is a clear benefit for f...
As technological process shrinks and clock rate increases, instruction caches can no longer be accessed in one cycle. Alternatives are implementing smaller caches (with higher mis...
— Microarchitecturally integrated on-chip networks, or micronets, are candidates to replace busses for processor component interconnect in future processor designs. For micronets...
