In a machine that follows the dynamically trace scheduled VLIW (DTSVLIW) architecture, VLIW instructions are built dynamically through an algorithm that can be implemented in hard...
For decades, the serialization constraints imposed by true data dependences have been regarded as an absolute limit--the dataflow limit--on the parallel execution of serial progra...
Simulation is an important means of evaluating new microarchitectures. Current trends toward chip multiprocessors (CMPs) try the ability of designers to develop efficient simulato...
