Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) reduces the power consumption of processors when peak performance is unnecessary. However, the achievable power savings by DVS alone is becoming limi...
Any architectural optimization aims at satisfying the end user. However, modern architectures execute with little to no knowledge about the individual user. If architectures could...

In modern superscalar processors, the complex instruction scheduler could form the critical path of the pipeline stages and limit the clock cycle time. In addition, complex schedu...
