critical issues regarding hps, a high performance microarchitecture
HPS is a new model for a high performance microarchitecture which is targeted for implementing very dissimilar ISP architectures. It derives its performance from executing the operations within a restricted window of a program out-of-order, asynchronously, and concurrently whenever possible. Before the model can be reduced to an effective working implementation of a particular target architecture, several issues need to be resolved. This paper discusses these issues, both in general and in the context of architectures with specific characteristics.
