Several studies of speculative execution based on values have reported promising performance potential. However, virtually all microarchitectures in these studies were described i...
This paper proposes the use of formal feedback control theory as a way to implement adaptive techniques in the processor architecture. Dynamic thermal management (DTM) is used as ...
