Abstract. The load-store queue (LQ-SQ) of modern superscalar processors is responsible for keeping the order of memory operations. As the performance gap between processing speed a...
As the number of metal layers and the frequency of VLSI continue to increase, the voltage droop on both the package and vias is becoming more pronounced. This paper analyzes the nu...
