In a 64-bit processor, many of the data values actually used in computations require much narrower data-widths. In this study, we demonstrate that instruction data-widths exhibit ...
The instruction scheduling logic used in modern superscalar microprocessors often relies on associative searching of the issue queue entries to dynamically wakeup instructions for...

The implementation of modern high performance computer is increasingly directed toward parallelism in the hardware. However, most of the current fetch units are limited to one bra...
The instruction sets of general-purpose microprocessors are designed to offer good performance across a wide range of programs. The size and complexity of the instruction sets, how...
Control independence has been put forward as a significant new source of instruction-level parallelism for future generation processors. However, its performance potential under p...
