Fast instruction decoding is a challenge for the design of CISC microprocessors. A well-known solution to overcome this problem is using a trace cache. It stores and fetches alrea...
In SMT processors, the complex interplay between private and shared datapath resources needs to be considered in order to realize the full performance potential. In this paper, we...
Industry is moving towards multi-core designs as we have hit the memory and power walls. Multi-core designs are very effective to exploit thread-level parallelism (TLP) but do not...
Transactional memory is an attractive design concept for scalable multiprocessors because it offers efficient lock-free synchronization and greatly simplifies parallel software....
