Load scheduling: Reducing pressure on distributed register files for free
In this paper we describe load scheduling, a novel method that balances load among register files by residual resources. Load scheduling can reduce register pressure for clustered...

Increasing Register File Immunity to Transient Errors
Transient errors are one of the major reasons for system downtime in many systems. While prior research has mainly focused on the impact of transient errors on datapath, caches an...

Selective writeback: exploiting transient values for energy-efficiency and performance
Today’s superscalar microprocessors use large, heavily-ported physical register files (RFs) to increase the instruction throughput. The high complexity and power dissipation of ...

An L2-miss-driven early register deallocation for SMT processors
The register file is one of the most critical datapath components limiting the number of threads that can be supported on a Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processor. To allow t...
