Abstract. Exposing more instruction-level parallelism in out-of-order superscalar processors requires increasing the number of dynamic in-flight instructions. However, large instru...
Instruction issue consumes a large amount of energy in out of order processors, largely in the wakeup logic. Proposed solutions to the problem require prediction or additional hard...
For highest performance, a modern microprocessor must be able to determine if an instruction is ready in the same cycle in which it is to be selected for execution. This creates a...
