Conditional branch induced control hazards cause significant performance loss in modern out-of-order superscalar processors. Dynamic branch prediction techniques help alleviate th...
In general-purpose microprocessors, recent trends have pushed towards 64-bit word widths, primarily to accommodate the large addressing needs of some programs. Many integer proble...
Open Source Software (OSS) has made great strides toward mainstream acceptance over the past two years. However, many IT managers, both in business and academia, are still cautiou...
