One architectural method for increasing processor performance involves increasing the frequency by implementing deeper pipelines. This paper will explore the relationship between ...
Many hardware optimizations rely on collecting information about program behavior at runtime. This information is stored in lookup tables. To be accurate and effective, these opti...
