Because they are based on large content-addressable memories, load-store queues (LSQ) present implementation challenges in superscalar processors, especially as issue width and nu...
In superscalar architectures, out-of-order issue mechanisms increase performance by dynamically rescheduling instructions that cannot be statically reordered by the compiler. Whil...
— We study the delays faced by instructions in the pipeline of a superscalar processor and its impact on power and performance. Instructions that are ready-on-dispatch (ROD) are ...
Large register file with multiple ports, but with a minimal access time, is a critical component in a superscalar processor. Analysis of the lifetime of a logical to physical reg...
One of the main concerns in today's processor design is the issue logic. Instruction-level parallelism is usually favored by an out-of-order issue mechanism where instruction...
