The PowerPC 620TM microprocessor1 is the most recent and performance leading member of the PowerPCTM family. The 64-bit PowerPC 620 microprocessor employs a two-phase branch predi...
Abstract— The study of protocol behavior and traffic characteristics in a simulated environment is commonly supported by ad-hoc or general purpose simulators (e.g., Opnet, NS-2)...
As the process technology advances into the deep submicron era, interconnect plays a dominant role in determining circuit performance. Buffer insertion/sizing and wire sizing are ...

We derive analytically, the performance optimal throttling curve for a processor under thermal constraints for a given task sequence. We found that keeping the chip temperature co...
High performance processors use checkpointing to rapidly recover from branch mispredictions and possibly other exceptions. We demonstrate that conventional checkpointing becomes u...
