The use of large instruction windows coupled with aggressive out-oforder and prefetching capabilities has provided significant improvements in processor performance. In this paper...
Low-Cost test methodologies for Systems-on-Chip are increasingly popular. They dictate which features have to be included on-chip and which test procedures have to be adopted in o...
Next generation architectures will require innovative solutions to reduce energy consumption. One of the trends we expect is more extensive utilization of compiler information dir...

Scaling of CMOS technology causes the power supply voltages to fall and supply currents to rise at the same time as operating speeds are increasing. Falling supply voltages cause ...
In high-performance wide-issue microprocessors the access time, energy and area of the register file are often critical to overall performance. This is because these pararmeters g...
