  • Abstract
    A new hardware scheme is proposed to resolve data and control hazards and assure precise exception on out-of-order execution in a microarchitecture with multiple pipelined functional units. The core of the proposed hardware is a register file called CARF, which is made of CAM (content-addressable memory), with an efficient state-transition mechanism for precise exception handling and prompt branch misprediction recovery
