Caches may consume half of a microprocessor’s total power and cache misses incur accessing off-chip memory, which is both time consuming and energy costly. Therefore, minimizing...
- Modern portable or embedded systems support more and more complex applications. These applications make embedded devices require not only low powerconsumption, but also high comp...
A large multi-ported register file is indispensable for exploiting instruction level parallelism (ILP) in today's dynamically scheduled superscalar processors. The number of ...
In an out-of-order issue processor, instructions are dynamically reordered and issued to function units in their dataready order rather than their original program order to achiev...
In most modern processor designs the L1 data cache has become a major consumer of power due to its increasing size and high frequency access rate. In order to reduce this power con...
