Abstract

This paper describes a method for detecting structural hazards 5-80 times faster than its predecessors, which generally have simulated the pipeline at compile time. It accepts a compact specification of the pipeline and creates a finite-state automation that can detect structural hazards in one table lookup per instruction.
