The performance of the data memory hierarchy is extremely important in current and near future high performance superscalar microprocessors. To address the memory gap, computer de...
In this paper, we present a novel mechanism that implements register renaming, dynamic speculation and precise interrupts. Renaming of registers is performed during the instructio...
Registers in processors generally contain words or, with the addition of multimedia extensions, short vectors of subwords of bytes or 16-bit elements. In this paper, we view the c...
In this paper, we propose a low-power approach to the design of embedded very long instruction word (VLIW) processor architectures based on the forwarding (or bypassing) hardware, ...
Abstract. In SMT processors several threads run simultaneously to increase available ILP, sharing but competing for resources. The instruction fetch policy plays a key role, determ...
