: This paper presents an evaluation of our Scheduled Dataflow (SDF) Processor. Recent focus in the field of new processor architectures is mainly on VLIW (e.g. IA-64), superscalar ...
Current superscalar processors, both RISC and CISC, require substantial instruction fetch and decode bandwidth to keep multiple functional units utilized. While CISC instructions ...
Fast instruction decoding is a challenge for the design of CISC microprocessors. A well-known solution to overcome this problem is using a trace cache. It stores and fetches alrea...
In this paper, we introduce PTLsim, a cycle accurate full system x86-64 microprocessor simulator and virtual machine. PTLsim models a modern superscalar out of order x86-64 proces...
