Industry has shifted towards multi-core designs as we have hit the memory and power walls. However, single thread performance remains of paramount importance since some applicatio...
In this paper, we propose Runahead Threads (RaT) as a valuable solution for both reducing resource contention and exploiting memory-level parallelism in Simultaneous Multithreaded...
—This paper presents a design space exploration of a selective load value prediction scheme suitable for energyaware Simultaneous Multi-Threaded (SMT) architectures. A load value...
Processors that can simultaneously execute multiple paths of execution will only exacerbate the fetch bandwidth problem already plaguing conventional processors. On a multiple-pat...
This paper briefly reviews the current research into RISC microprocessor architecture, which now seems to be so complex as to make the acronym somewhat of an oxymoron. In response...
