— As microprocessor technology continues to scale into the nanometer regime, recent studies show that interconnect delay will be a limiting factor for performance, and multiple c...
We model micro-architectures with non-pipelined instruction processing and pipelined instruction processing, using Maurer machines, basic thread algebra and program algebra. We sho...
