Although domain-specialized FPGAs can offer significant area, speed and power improvements over conventional reconfigurable devices, there are several unique and unexplored design...
Increasing power dissipation has become a major constraint for future performance gains in the design of microprocessors. In this paper, we present the circuit design of an issue ...

When modern processors keep increasing the instruction window size and the issue width to exploit more instruction-level parallelism (ILP), the demand of larger physical register ...
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...
