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...

As the issue widthof superscalar processors is increased, instructionfetch bandwidthrequirements will also increase. It will become necessary to fetch multiple basic blocks per cy...
The implementation of modern high performance computer is increasingly directed toward parallelism in the hardware. However, most of the current fetch units are limited to one bra...
In a dynamic reordering superscalar processor, the front-end fetches instructions and places them in the issue queue. Instructions are then issued by the back-end execution core. T...
—Instruction fetching is critical to the performance of a superscalar microprocessor. We develop a mathematical model for three different cache techniques and evaluate its perfor...
