— The growing use of digital signal processors (DSPs) in embedded systems necessitates the use of optimizing compilers supporting their special architecture features. Beside the ...
Clustered microarchitectures are an effective organization to deal with the problem of wire delays and complexity by partitioning some of the processor resources. The organization ...
Current-generation microprocessors are designed to process instructions with one and two source operands at equal cost. Handling two source operands requires multiple ports for ea...
Trace caches enable high bandwidth, low latency instruction supply, but have a high miss penalty and relatively large working sets. Consequently, their performance may suffer due ...
