In this paper, we present a novel technique to reduce dynamic and static power dissipation in the issue queue. The proposed scheme is based on delaying the dispatch of instructions...
We have investigated the register file requirements of dynamically scheduled processors using register renaming and dispatch queues running the SPEC92 benchmarks. We looked at pro...
Out-of-order execution significantly increases the performance of superscalar processors. The out-of-order execution mechanism is, however, energy-inefficient, which inhibits scal...

Complexity is one of the most important problems facing microarchitects. It is exacerbated by the application of optimizations, by scaling to higher issue widths and, in general, ...
Energy efficiency in microarchitectures has become a necessity. Significant dynamic energy savings can be realized for adaptive storage structures such as caches, issue queues, ...
