Adaptive front-end throttling for superscalar processors
ISLPED '14: Proceedings of the 2014 international symposium on Low power electronics and designTo achieve high performance, conventional superscalar processors maintain maximum front-end instruction delivery bandwidth, which is often suboptimal when program behavior and priority metrics change. This paper proposes an adaptive front-end throttling ...
A Front-end Execution Architecture for High Energy Efficiency
MICRO-47: Proceedings of the 47th Annual IEEE/ACM International Symposium on MicroarchitectureSmart phones and tablets have recently become widespread and dominant in the computer market. Users require that these mobile devices provide a high-quality experience and an even higher performance. Hence, major developers adopt out-of-order ...
Optimizations Enabled by a Decoupled Front-End Architecture
In the pursuit of instruction-level parallelism, significant demands are placed on a processor's instruction delivery mechanism. Delivering the performance necessary to meet future processor execution targets requires that the performance of the ...
