Instruction issue consumes a large amount of energy in out of order processors, largely in the wakeup logic. Proposed solutions to the problem require prediction or additional hard...
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...
Conventional load/store queues (LSQs) are an impediment to both power-efficient execution in superscalar processors and scaling to large-window designs. In this paper, we propose...

High performance architectures have always had to deal with the performance-limiting impact of branch operations. Microprocessor designs are going to have to deal with this proble...
Because they are based on large content-addressable memories, load-store queues (LSQ) present implementation challenges in superscalar processors, especially as issue width and nu...
