• Operating principles and complexity of superscalar architectures [Johnson, 1991, Hennessy and Patterson, 1996, Smith and Sohi, 1995, Palacharla et al., 1997].
• Existing superscalar architectures: PowerPC [Weiss and Smith, 1994, Diep et al., 1995] Pentium Pro/Pentium II [micro28 tutorial], R10000/R12000 [Yeager, 1996], SUN UltraSparc [Normyle and Csoppenszky, 1997] / Sparc V9 [Simone et al., 1995] [micro28 tutorial], Alpha 21264 [Gieseke, 1997], and HP PA-8500/PA-8000 [Hunt, 1995].
