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...
— On current superscalar processors, performance and power issues cannot be decoupled for designers. Extensive simulations are usually required to meet both power and performance...
Two of the most important design issues for modern processors are power and performance. It is important for students in computer organization classes to understand the tradeoff b...
In modern superscalar processors, the complex instruction scheduler could form the critical path of the pipeline stages and limit the clock cycle time. In addition, complex schedu...
Abstract. The load-store queue (LQ-SQ) of modern superscalar processors is responsible for keeping the order of memory operations. As the performance gap between processing speed a...
