Register file access time represents one of the critical delays of current microprocessors, and it is expected to become more critical as future processors increase the instructio...
Functional validation of microprocessors is growing in complexity in current and future microprocessors. Traditionally, the different components (or validation collaterals) used i...

Memory-intensive threads can hoard shared resources without making progress on a multithreading processor (SMT), thereby hindering the overall system performance. A recent promisi...
As the number of transistors integrated on a chip continues to increase, a growing challenge is accurately modeling performance in the early stages of processor design. Analytical...
The key issues for register file design in high-performance processors are access time and energy. While previous work has focused on reducing the number of registers, we propose...
