What is the disadvantage of register renaming in a superscalar processor?
What will be an ideal response?
Of course, there is a hardware cost of the new registers (that is, the pool of the registers available for renaming). That increases silicon area and power dissipation. More importantly, the register mapping mechanism and register release mechanisms are introduced in a critical path of instruction execution. Finally, register mapping requires associative mapping techniques because all registers have to be mapped against all operands simultaneously to avoid excessive mapping delays.
