During the course of a program’s execution, a processor performs many trivial computations; that is, computations that can be simplified or where the result is zero, one, or equ...
— This paper presents a method for correct-by-construction microarchitectural pipelining that handles cyclic systems with dependencies between iterations. Our method combines pre...
