Enabled by the continuous advancement in fabrication technology, present day synchronous microprocessors include more than 100 million transistors and have clock speeds well in ex...
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...
The performance tradeoff between hardware complexity and clock speed is studied. First, a generic superscalar pipeline is defined. Then the specific areas of register renaming, ...
