Operand bypass logic might be one of the critical structures for future microprocessors to achieve high clock speed. The delay of the logic imposes the execution time budget to be ...
—Quality of Service (QoS) is becoming increasingly important with the rise of multimedia applications (e.g., voice over IP (VoIP), video conferencing, online gaming, and Internet...
