Continuing VLSI technology scaling raises several deep submicron (DSM) problems like relatively slow interconnect, power dissipation and distribution, and signal integrity. Those ...
Energy dissipation from the issue queue and register file constitutes a large portion of the overall energy budget of an aggressive dynamically scheduled microprocessor. We propo...
The power dissipated by system-level buses is the largest contribution to the global power of complex VLSI circuits. Therefore, the minimization of the switching activity at the I...

Continuous improvements in integration scale have made major microprocessor vendors to move to designs that integrate several processor cores on the same chip. Chip-multiprocessor...
Today’s superscalar microprocessors use large, heavily-ported physical register files (RFs) to increase the instruction throughput. The high complexity and power dissipation of ...
