Future SoCs will contain multiple cores. For workloads with significant parallelism, prior work has shown the benefit of many small, multi-threaded, scalar cores. For workloads th...
It is generally believed that there will be little more variety in CPU architectures, and thus the design of Instruction-set Architectures (ISAs) will have no role in the future o...
Modern microprocessors offer more instruction-level parallelism than most programs and compilers can currently exploit. The resulting disparity between a machine's peak and a...
Abstract—Customised processor performance generally increases as additional custom instructions are added. However, performance is not the only metric that modern systems must ta...
