Previous timing analysis methods have assumed that the worst-case instruction execution time necessarily corresponds to the worst-case behavior. We show that this assumption is wr...
Accurate branch prediction is essential for obtaining high performance in pipelined superscalar processors that execute instructions speculatively. Some of the best current predic...
SIMD or vector computers and collection-oriented languages, like C , are designed to perform the same computation on each data item or on just a subset of the data. Subsets of pro...
In this paper we present the impact of dynamically translating any sequence of instructions into combinational logic. The proposed approach combines a reconfigurable architecture ...
Register file access time represents one of the critical delays of current microprocessors, and it is expected to become more critical as future processors increase the instructio...
