The implementation of modern high performance computer is increasingly directed toward parallelism in the hardware. However, most of the current fetch units are limited to one bra...
High performance processors use checkpointing to rapidly recover from branch mispredictions and possibly other exceptions. We demonstrate that conventional checkpointing becomes u...
— On current superscalar processors, performance and power issues cannot be decoupled for designers. Extensive simulations are usually required to meet both power and performance...
Abstract. As process technology scales down, power wall starts to hinder improvements in processor performance. Performance optimization has to proceed under a power constraint. Th...
In order to enhance the performance of a computer, most modern processors use superscalar architecture and raise the clock frequency. Superscalar architecture can execute more than...
