CAREER: Transcending the Limits to ILP Processing

这个项目解决了三个问题，这些问题的解决方案是提高指令级并行性所必需的。它们是：分散的执行架构，以提高可扩展性；能够适应控制流变化的指令获取机制；以及依赖检查机制。研究将集中在并行执行窗口（PEW）执行模型上，该模型中指令的窗口通常分配到相同的执行窗口，因此并行操作通常是独立的。这个项目将涉及本科生和研究生在模拟器的开发和他们在定量建筑比较中的使用。

This project addresses three problems whose solutions are needed for the advancement of instruction-level parallelism. They are: a decentralized execution architecture to increase scalability; an instruction fetch mechanism that can accommodate control flow changes; and a dependency checking mechanism. Research will concentrate on the parallel execution window (PEW) model of execution, in which the window of instructions are generally allocated to the same execution window, so that parallel actions will usually be independent. This project will involve undergraduate and graduate students in the development of simuators and in their use in quantitative architectural comparisons.
