In current superscalar processors, all floating-point resources are idle during the execution of integer programs. As previous works show, this problem can be alleviated if the fl...

Clustered architectures are a solution to the bottleneck of centralized register files in superscalar and VLIW processors. The main challenge associated with clustered architectu...
As clock frequency and die area increase, achieving energy efficiency, while distributing a low skew, global clock signal becomes increasingly difficult. Challenges imposed by dee...
