Flexible register management using reference counting
Conventional out-of-order processors that use a unified physical register file allocate and reclaim registers explicitly using a free list that operates as a circular queue. We ...

Avoiding data conversions in embedded media processors
Complex application-specific media instructions and kernels are emulated with simple to implement extended subword instructions. We show that assuming extended register file ent...
