Multiported register files are a critical component of high-performance superscalar microprocessors. Conventional multiported structures can consume significant power and die ar...
This paper describes the AccuPower toolset -- a set of simulation tools accurately estimating the power dissipation within a superscalar microprocessor. AccuPower uses a true hard...
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...
Current superscalar microprocessors’ performance depends on its frequency and the number of useful instructions that can be processed per cycle (IPC). In this paper we propose a...
The issue logic of dynamically scheduled superscalar processors is one of their most complex and power-consuming parts. In this paper we present alternative issue-logic designs th...
