Designing a cost effective superscalar architecture for x86 compatible microprocessors is a challenging task in terms of both technical difficulty and commercial value. One of the...
Burch and Dill [3] described an automatic method for verifying a pipelined processor against its instruction setarchitecture(ISA). We describethree techniquesfor improving this me...
This paper describes how a superscalar in-order processor must be modified to support Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) such that time-predictability is preserved for hard real-ti...
In this paper we investigate the behavior of data prefetching on an access decoupled machine and a superscalar machine. We assess if there are bene ts to using the decoupling para...
Three dimensional (3D) graphics applications have become very important workloads running on today's computer systems. A cost-effective graphics solution is to perform geomet...
