Asymmetric clustering of microarchitectures through dynamic-selective shutdown and sharing of functional units

Designs for clustered microarchitecture have involved symmetric clusters that feature the same number of processing elements or units. These designs also relied solely on static or dynamic instruction distribution algorithms to minimize intercluster communications and maximize cluster load bala...
