Overall Objective

To investigate means to optimize register file accesses in a high-scalar, highly-pipelined general purpose processor architecture. This resulted in a technique called "Register Scoreboard and Caching," and a number of related patent applications. We have given several talks at SunLabs, SPARC Technology Business (STB), and worked with the processor development team in incorporating some of these ideas in the design. A paper was accepted and will be published in the International Conference of Computer Design (ICCD-95).
