Current-generation microprocessors are designed to process instructions with one and two source operands at equal cost. Handling two source operands requires multiple ports for ea...
The multicluster architecture that we introduce offers a decentralized, dynamically-scheduled architecture, in which the register files, dispatch queue, and functional units of t...

In order to enhance the performance of a computer, most modern processors use superscalar architecture and raise the clock frequency. Superscalar architecture can execute more than...
An increasingly large portion of scheduler latency is derived from the monolithic content addressable memory (CAM) arrays accessed during instruction wakeup. The performance of th...
