Instruction delivery is a critical component for wide-issue processors since its bandwidth and accuracy place an upper limit on performance. The processor front-end accuracy and ba...
The issue logic of dynamically scheduled superscalar processors is one of their most complex and power-consuming parts. In this paper we present alternative issue-logic designs th...
—Energy use of computer communication systems has quickly become a vital design consideration. One effective method for reducing energy consumption is dynamic speed scaling, whic...
