Conventional processors use a fully-associative store queue (SQ) to implement store-load forwarding. Associative search latency does not scale well to capacities and bandwidths re...
Studying program behavior is a central component in architectural designs. In this paper, we study and exploit one aspect of program behavior, the behavior repetition, to expedite...
The majority of the traffic (bytes) flowing over the Internet today have been attributed to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). This strong presence of TCP has recently spu...
Branch prediction accuracy is a very important factor for superscalarprocessor performance. The ability topredict the outcome of a branch allows the processor to effectively use a...
The register file access time is one of the critical delays in current superscalar processors. Its impact on processor performance is likely to increase in future processor genera...
