In high-end processors, increasing the number of in-flight instructions can improve performance by overlapping useful processing with long-latency accesses to the main memory. Buf...
Memory leaks and memory corruption are two major forms of software bugs that severely threaten system availability and security. According to the US-CERT Vulnerability Notes Datab...
Modern microprocessors adopt speculative scheduling techniques where instructions are scheduled several clock cycles before they actually execute. Due to this scheduling delay, sc...
