Despite their superior performance for multimedia applications, vector processors have three limitations that hinder their widespread acceptance. First, the complexity and size of...
We describe an effort to prototype an Itanium microarchitecture using an FPGA. The microarchitecture model is written in the Bluespec hardware description language (HDL) and suppo...
Growing on-chip wire delays will cause many future microarchitectures to be distributed, in which hardware resources within a single processor become nodes on one or more switched...
The use of large instruction windows coupled with aggressive out-oforder and prefetching capabilities has provided significant improvements in processor performance. In this paper...
