Branch prediction units are key performance components in modern microprocessors as
they are widely used to address control hazards and minimize misprediction stalls. The …

Branch predictors are widely used to boost the performance of microprocessors. However,
this comes at the expense of power because accurate branch prediction requires …

Aggressive dynamic voltage and frequency scaling is widely used to reduce the power
consumption of microprocessors. Unfortunately, voltage scaling increases the impact of …

Voltage scaling increases the impact of process variations resulting in an exponential ramp-
up in the number of malfunctioning SRAM cells. Our experimental findings reveal that for …
