—Several recently proposed techniques including CPR (Checkpoint Processing and Recovery) and NoSQ (No Store Queue) rely on reference counting to manage physical registers. Howeve...
Conventional out-of-order processors that use a unified physical register file allocate and reclaim registers explicitly using a free list that operates as a circular queue. We ...

Stoye's one-bit reference tagging scheme can be extended to local counts of two or more via two strategies. The first, suited to pure register transactions, is a cache of ref...
Abstract. In DSP processors, minimizing the amount of address calculations is critical for reducing code size and improving performance since studies of programs have shown that in...
