ETM10 Incorporates Hardware Segment of IEEE P1500

Speculation with transactional memory systems helps pro- grammers and compilers produce profitable thread-level parallel programs. Prior work shows that supporting transactions that can span multiple threads, rather than requiring transactions be ...

Register files are becoming one of the critical components of current out-of-order processors in terms of delay and power consumption, since their potential to exploit instruction-level parallelism is closely related to the size and number of ports of ...

Pipelining has become a common technique to increase throughput of the instruction fetch, instruction decode, and instruction execution portions of modern computers. Branch instructions disrupt the flow of instructions through the pipeline, increasing ...
