Reducing the Scheduling Critical Cycle Using Wakeup Prediction
For highest performance, a modern microprocessor must be able to determine if an instruction is ready in the same cycle in which it is to be selected for execution. This creates a...

Exploring Wakeup-Free Instruction Scheduling
Design of wakeup-free issue queues is becoming desirable due to the increasing complexity associated with broadcast-based instruction wakeup. The effectiveness of most wakeup-free...

An efficient wakeup design for energy reduction in high-performance superscalar processors
In modern superscalar processors, the complex instruction scheduler could form the critical path of the pipeline stages and limit the clock cycle time. In addition, complex schedu...

Reducing Delay and Power Consumption of the Wakeup Logic Through Instruction Packing and Tag Memoization
Dynamic instruction scheduling logic is one of the most critical components of modern superscalar microprocessors, both from the delay and power dissipation standpoints. The delay ...

On-Demand Solution to Minimize I-Cache Leakage Energy with Maintaining Performance
This paper describes a new on-demand wake-up prediction policy for reducing leakage power. The key insight is that branch prediction can be used to selectively wake up only the nee...
