For many applications, branch mispredictions and cache misses limit a processor’s performance to a level well below its peak instruction throughput. A small fraction of static i...
We compare the five candidates for the Advanced Encryption Standard based on their performance on the Alpha 21264, a 64-bit superscalar processor. There are several new features o...
As the complexity of software systems increases, so need for a good mechanism of abstraction. architecture design is an abstraction, hiding an immense amount of details about the ...
