Continual Flow Pipelines: Achieving Resource-Efficient Latency Tolerance
November/December 2004 (vol. 24 no. 6)
pp. 62-73
Continual flow pipelines let a processor core sustain a very large and adaptive instruction window while keeping its scheduler and register file small. The resulting improved cache efficiency, resource decoupling, and look-ahead capability enable many such cores to reside on a single chip for high throughput while enabling high single-thread performance.
