The register file is a power-hungry device in modern architectures. Current research on compiler technology and computer architectures encourages the implementation of larger dev...
In this paper we describe a design exploration methodology for clustered VLIW architectures. The central idea of this work is a set of three techniques aimed at reducing the cost ...

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, ...
