A large logical register file is important to allow effective compiler transformations or to provide a windowed space of registers to allow fast function calls. Unfortunately, a l...

With the availability of chip multiprocessor (CMP) and simultaneous multithreading (SMT) machines, extracting thread level parallelism from a sequential program has become crucial...
Multicore processors have become ubiquitous in today’s systems, but exploiting the parallelism they offer remains difficult, especially for legacy application and applications ...
An emerging trend in processor design is the addition of short vector instructions to general-purpose and embedded ISAs. Frequently, these extensions are employed using traditiona...
