Ultra high frequency microarchitecture at IBM Research 
  Project description 

The purpose of the Ultra high frequency microarchitecture project is to study the challenges and opportunities afforded by the future use of ultra high frequency designs. This effort continues an IBM focus on high frequency designs, including guTS, BOA (a second generation DAISY system), and the power/performance study of deeply pipelined microarchitectures. The team brings together many of the researchers who previously were instrumental in defining the BOA and CELL architectures.

Challenges of ultra high frequency microarchitectures studied are latency-aware design of memory hierarchies for both instruction and data delivery, low-complexity high frequency pipeline design, and power analysis. Another aspect of this project is to understand the future circuit technology constrains and design styles, and their impact on microarchitecture.
