Although the best processor design for executing a specific workload does depend on the characteristics of the workload, it can not be determined without factoring-in the effect o...
This paper proposes a low power VLIW processor generation method by automatically extracting non-redundant activation conditions of pipeline registers for clock gating. It is impo...
Performance analysis of microprocessors is a critical step in defining the microarchitecture, prior to register-transfer-level (RTL) design. In complex chip multiprocessor systems...
