Modern superscalar microprocessors need sizable register files to support large number of in-flight instructions for exploiting ILP. An alternative to building large register file...

This paper presents a novel compiler directed technique to reduce the register pressure and power of the register file by releasing registers early. The compiler identifies regi...

When modern processors keep increasing the instruction window size and the issue width to exploit more instruction-level parallelism (ILP), the demand of larger physical register ...
The register file is one of the most critical datapath components limiting the number of threads that can be supported on a Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processor. To allow t...
Register file access time represents one of the critical delays of current microprocessors, and it is expected to become more critical as future processors increase the instructio...
