The increasing performance gap between processors and memory will force future architectures to devote significant resources towards removing and hiding memory latency. The two ma...
This paper explores the role of branch predictor organization in power/energy/performance tradeoffs for processor design. We find that as a general rule, to reduce overall energy ...

Clusters of high-end workstations and PCs are currently used in many application domains to perform large-scale computations or as scalable servers for I/O bound tasks. Although c...
Cyclops is a new architecture for high performance parallel computers being developed at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. The basic cell of this architecture is a single-chip...
Power dissipation has become one of the most critical factors for the continued development of both high-end and low-end computer systems. The successful design and evaluation of ...

As the power consumption of modern highperformance microprocessors increases beyond 100W, power becomes an increasingly important design consideration. This paper presents a novel...
This paper explores the concept of micro-architectural loops and discusses their impact on processor pipelines. In particular, we establish the relationship between loose loops an...
