Abstract :
Future manycore processors will be energy-constrained, and thus the primary metric for evaluating these architectures will be their energy-efficiency. In this work, we investigate new architectural and microarchitectural mechanisms which enable a wider array of applications to be mapped to energy-efficient vector units.
