We apply Amdahl's Law to multicore chips using symmetric cores, asymmetric cores, and dynamic techniques that allows cores to work together on sequential execution. To Amdahl...
Until very recently, microprocessor designs were computation-centric. On-chip communication was frequently ignored. This was because of fast, single-cycle on-chip communication. T...
Abstract—Addressing both standby and active power is a major challenge in developing System-on-Chip designs for batterypowered products. Powering off sections of logic or memorie...

With faster CPU clocks and wider pipelines, all relevant microarchitecture components should scale accordingly. There have been many proposals for scaling the issue queue, registe...
