A Simple Low-Energy Instruction Wakeup Mechanism
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...

Register File Design Considerations in Dynamically Scheduled Processors
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...

Late-binding: enabling unordered load-store queues
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...

The effects of predicated execution on branch prediction
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...

Decomposing the load-store queue by function for power reduction and scalability
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...
