Register integration (or just integration) is a register renaming discipline that implements instruction reuse via physical register sharing. Initially developed to perform squash...
This paper describes the AccuPower toolset -- a set of simulation tools accurately estimating the power dissipation within a superscalar microprocessor. AccuPower uses a true hard...
Cycles per Instruction (CPI) stacks break down processor execution time into a baseline CPI plus a number of miss event CPI components. CPI breakdowns can be very helpful in gaini...
Large register file with multiple ports is a critical component of a high-performance processor. A large number of registers are necessary for processing a larger number of in-fli...
The register file access time is one of the critical delays in current superscalar processors. Its impact on processor performance is likely to increase in future processor genera...
