Global Variable Promotion: Using Registers to Reduce Cache Power Dissipation
Global variable promotion, i.e. allocating unaliased globals to registers, can significantly reduce the number of memory operations. This results in reduced cache activity and less...

Drowsy region-based caches: minimizing both dynamic and static power dissipation
Power consumption within the memory hierarchy grows in importance as on-chip data caches occupy increasingly greater die area. Among dynamic power conservation schemes, horizontal...

Reducing Datapath Energy through the Isolation of Short-Lived Operands
We present a technique for reducing the power dissipation in the course of writebacks and committments in a datapath that uses a dedicated architectural register file (ARF) to hol...

Reducing reorder buffer complexity through selective operand caching
Modern superscalar processors implement precise interrupts by using the Reorder Buffer (ROB). In some microarchitectures , such as the Intel P6, the ROB also serves as a repositor...
