....are published without hardware complexity accounts. Some papers include transistor count estimations without explanation (e.g. 15] some give rough transistor count estimations (e.g. 8] and a few papers include detailed complexity estimations, in particular Palacharla, Jouppi, and Smith [13] and [14] Burns and Gaudiot [4] perform a rst step in our direction by estimating the layout area of simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) processors. They identify, which layout blocks are a ected by SMT, determine the scaling of chip space requirements, and compare SMT versus single threaded ....

....where these disruptions occur often, the execution throughput is well below a wide superscalar s peak bandwidth. Ideally, we need an uninterrupted instruction fetch supply to increase performance. Even then, there are other complexities that have to be overcome to increase execution throughput [2]. Register renaming requires dependency checking among instructions of the same block, and multiple read ports into the rename table. This logic increases in complexity as the width of the rename stage increases. A large pool of instructions is also necessary to find enough independent ....

.... possible because of the characteristics of the study itself, that totally relax certain architectural constraints, e.g. perfect branch prediction or unbounded resources) Even without assuming limit conditions, the proposals may not be worth implementing, such as very large instruction windows [11]. The main way of increasing IPC, and therefore speeding up applications, has always been the exploitation of the inherent parallelism in programs, either using software techniques or hardware mechanisms. Although the majority of previous research in ILP focused on the performance of a single ....

....instructions. Nevertheless, the parallelism found dynamically by these techniques has been shown to be bounded. Recent studies show that augmenting the instruction window size, thus increasing the dynamic scope of the processor may not be cost effective, not only because of technological reasons [12] but also because of the characteristics of the programs themselves, which show a saturation in the speed up obtainable with highly aggressive architectures [15] To overcome the limitations that a unique control thread may impose, the exploitation of multiple flows of control has been proposed ....

....includes a L1 32 KB data cache. This cache is composed of 4 interleaved banks that allow four simultaneous accesses by the processor (one access per L S functional unit) provided there is no bank conflict. It is a write back direct mapped cache with fetch on write and write allocate policies[13]. As most of caches today, it is also non blocking [9] We suppose that it can support an infinite number of pending loads since measures show that restricting the number fo pending loads to 2 gives the same performance. The hit access time is 1 cycle. The L1 instruction cache is supposed to be ....
