The control system of many complex mechatronic products requires for each task the Worst Case Execution Time (WCET), which is needed for the scheduler's admission tests and su...
Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability problems...
Modern microprocessors schedule instructions dynamically in order to exploit instruction-level parallelism. It is necessary to increase instruction window size for improving instr...
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...
Operand bypass logic might be one of the critical structures for future microprocessors to achieve high clock speed. The delay of the logic imposes the execution time budget to be ...
