In a circuit environment that is becoming increasingly sensitive to dynamic power dissipation and noise, and where cycle time available for control decisions continues to decrease...

We examine two pipeline structures which are employed in commercial microprocessors. The first is the load-use interlock (LUI) pipeline, which employs an interlock to ensure corre...
The interlock and forwarding logic is considered the tricky part of a fully-featured pipelined microprocessor and especially debugging these parts delays the hardware design proce...
—Communication costs, which have the potential to throttle design performance as scaling continues, are mathematically modeled and compared for various pipeline methodologies. Fi...

The throughput of a multiple-pipelined processor suffers due to lack of sufficient instructions to make multiple pipelines busy and due to delays associated with pipeline depende...
