In order to enhance the performance of a computer, most modern processors use superscalar architecture and raise the clock frequency. Superscalar architecture can execute more than...
Abstract. Branch predictors are associated with critical design issues for nowadays instruction greedy processors. We study two important domains where the optimization of decision...

The instruction sets of general-purpose microprocessors are designed to offer good performance across a wide range of programs. The size and complexity of the instruction sets, how...
Recent superscalar processors issue four instructions per cycle. These processors are also powered by highly-parallel superscalar cores. The potential performance can only be expl...
