A Novel instruction stream buffer for VLIW architectures

The instruction compression mechanism used to solve the drawbacks of traditional very long instruction word (VLIW) architectures often leads to poor code density in the instruction cache, which causes the irregular lengths of long instructions to cross ...

Modeling the effects of instruction queue loading on a static instruction stream micro-architecture
MICRO 21: Proceedings of the 21st annual workshop on Microprogramming and microarchitecture

Increased processor performance requires the exploitation of the parallelism that exists within the instruction stream and within the processor itself: A static instruction stream micro-architecture, CONDEL, extracts and uses the machine instruction ...
