An analytical performance model for out of order issue superscalar micro-processors is presented. This model quantifies the performance impacts of micro-architecture design option...
Trace-driven simulation of superscalar processors is particularly complicated. The dynamic nature of superscalar processors combined with the static nature of traces can lead to l...
The widening gap between CPU and memory speed has made caches an integral feature of modern highperformance processors. The high degree of configurability of cache memory can requ...
