In this work, we propose a dynamic power-aware issue queue in a general-purpose microprocessor for multimedia applications. Its resources can be adapted at runtime in accordance w...
This paper proposes a new formalism for layout-driven optimization of datapaths. It is based on preserving an arithmetic bit level representation of the arithmetic circuit portion...
Large register file with multiple ports, but with a minimal access time, is a critical component in a superscalar processor. Analysis of the lifetime of a logical to physical reg...
Translation Look-aside Buffer (TLB), which is small Content Addressable Memory (CAM) structure used to translate virtual addresses to physical addresses, can consume significant ...
