As the issue widthof superscalar processors is increased, instructionfetch bandwidthrequirements will also increase. It will become necessary to fetch multiple basic blocks per cy...
In contemporary out-of-order superscalar design, high IPC is mainly achieved by exposing high instruction level parallelism (ILP). Scaling issue window size can certainly provide ...
Abstract. Branch predictors are associated with critical design issues for nowadays instruction greedy processors. We study two important domains where the optimization of decision...

Current superscalar processors, both RISC and CISC, require substantial instruction fetch and decode bandwidth to keep multiple functional units utilized. While CISC instructions ...
This paper examines simultaneous multithreading, a technique permitting several independent threads to issue instructions to a superscalar's multiple functional units in a si...
