The energy complexity of register files
Register files (RF) represent a substantial portion of the energy budget in modern processors, and are growing rapidly with the trend towards wider instruction issue. The actual ...

On Reducing Register Pressure and Energy in Multiple-Banked Register Files
The storage for speculative values in superscalar processors is one of the main sources of complexity and power dissipation. In this paper, we present a novel technique to reduce ...

Reducing Datapath Energy through the Isolation of Short-Lived Operands
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...

Banked Multiported Register Files for High-Frequency Superscalar Microprocessors
Multiported register files are a critical component of high-performance superscalar microprocessors. Conventional multiported structures can consume significant power and die ar...
