Among vertebrates, whole-body movement is centered around the vertebral column. The bony vertebral column primarily consists of trabecular (spongy) bone that adapts in vivo to support mechanical demands respective to region, ontogeny, ecology, and locomotion. Previous work has e…

A larger instruction window on Out-of-Order (OoO) cores facilitates better exploitation of inherent Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP). Branch miss-speculation penalty restricts scaling to larger instruction window in OoO cores. Branch instructions dependent on hard-to-predict …
