Abstract:Scaling contemporary superscalar microarchitectures to higher levels of parallelism in future technologies seems to be impractical due to the increasing complexity [1]. In this paper, we show that a fixed-length block structured instruction set architecture (BSA), is capable of reducing the hardware complexity and is therefore feasible as an alternative architectural paradigm for traditional architectures with large virtual window sizes for future technologies. This is reached through two major interventions. … Show more
