Modern compilers must expose sufficient amounts of Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP) to achieve the promised performance increases of superscalar and VLIW processors. One of the...

This paper presents a highly efficient processor design methodology based on the LISA 2.0 language. Typically the architecture design phase is dominated by an iterative processor ...

In superscalar architectures, out-of-order issue mechanisms increase performance by dynamically rescheduling instructions that cannot be statically reordered by the compiler. Whil...
Low-overhead checkpointing and rollback is a popular technique for fault recovery. While different approaches are possible, hardware-supported checkpointing and rollback at the ca...
Modern chip-level multiprocessors (CMPs) contain multiple processor cores sharing a common last-level cache, memory interconnects, and other hardware resources. Workloads running ...
