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...
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...

On-line transaction processing exhibits poor memory behavior in high-end multiprocessor servers because of complex sharing patterns and substantial interaction between the databas...
Increasing power dissipation has become a major constraint for future performance gains in the design of microprocessors. In this paper, we present the circuit design of an issue ...

In high-end processors, increasing the number of in-flight instructions can improve performance by overlapping useful processing with long-latency accesses to the main memory. Buf...
