A critical problem in wide-issue superscalar processors is the limit on cycle time imposed by the central register file and operand bypass network. In this paper, a distributed re...

A large multi-ported register file is indispensable for exploiting instruction level parallelism (ILP) in today's dynamically scheduled superscalar processors. The number of ...
In high-performance wide-issue microprocessors the access time, energy and area of the register file are often critical to overall performance. This is because these pararmeters g...
We present a technique for reducing the power dissipation in the course of writebacks and committments in a datapath that uses a dedicated architectural register file (ARF) to hol...

Modern superscalar processors implement precise interrupts by using the Reorder Buffer (ROB). In some microarchitectures , such as the Intel P6, the ROB also serves as a repositor...
