![]() ![]() ![]() This paper explores the problem of extra power consumption in traditional instruction caches because of dynamic control flows. This trend makes power issue worse in the fetch unit since the traditional instruction fetch mechanism is not optimised for power consumption. As the issue width and the number of function units of superscalar processors continue to increase, the fetch unit must support a large fetch bandwidth in order to fully utilise the datapath resources.
