Abstract :
The issues involved in designing multiple-register window schemes are examined, and fixed-size, variable-size and two-size window organizations are discussed. These three multiple-register approaches are compared. A detailed example is presented, showing that the proposed two-size register window scheme has significant advantages over both fixed-size and variable-size schemes. A prototype design is presented.<>
