Abstract(in English) While the improvements in clock frequency and transistor density have achieved the continuous increase in microprocessor performance, increasing power consumption and thus temperature are becoming a serious problem. We focus on register files, because strong access locality to particular registers or register banks causes serious heat dissipation. Our previous study did not show such an access locality, because register renaming transforms the logical register access into the uniform physical register access. However, it did not consider temporal locality but only spatial locality. This paper shows strong temporal and spatial locality on physical register access.
