In this paper we present an approach to boosting performance and tolerating latency by deferring non-critical instructions into a deferred queue for later processing. As such, ins...

As the issue widthof superscalar processors is increased, instructionfetch bandwidthrequirements will also increase. It will become necessary to fetch multiple basic blocks per cy...
Filter cache has been proposed as an energy saving architectural feature [9]. A filter cache is placed between the CPU and the instruction cache (I-cache) to provide the instruct...
Abstract. Existing variable-length instruction formats provide higher code densities than fixed-length formats, but are ill-suited to pipelined or parallel instruction fetch and de...
