The key issues for register file design in high-performance processors are access time and energy. While previous work has focused on reducing the number of registers, we propose...
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...
A large multi-ported register file is indispensable for exploiting instruction level parallelism (ILP) in today's dynamically scheduled superscalar processors. The number of ...
Register files of microprocessors have often been cited as performance bottlenecks and significant consumers of energy. The robust and modular nature of quasi-delay insensitive (Q...
In this paper, we describe two new algorithms for datapath scheduling which aim at energy reduction while maintaining performance. The proposed algorithms, time constrained and re...
