Processor Idle Cycle Aggregation (PICA) is a promising approach for low power execution of processors, in which small memory stalls are aggregated to create a large one, and the p...
In order to achieve high performance, contemporary microprocessors must effectively process the four major instruction types: ALU, branch, load, and store instructions. This paper...
