Register file banking is an effective alternative to monolithic register files in embedded processor based systems. In this work, we propose techniques for performing application s...
A large multi-ported register file is indispensable for exploiting instruction level parallelism (ILP) in today's dynamically scheduled superscalar processors. The number of ...
In current embedded systems processors, multi-ported register files are one of the most power hungry parts of the processor, even when they are clustered. This paper presents a n...

In recent years, processor manufacturers have converged on two types of register file architectures. Both IBM with its POWER series and Intel with its Pentium series are using a ...
Many high-end DSP processors employ both multiple memory banks and heterogeneous register files to improve performance and power consumption. The complexity of such architectures ...
