Design space exploration (DSE) for microarchitecture parameters is an essential stage in microprocessor design to explore the trade-offs among performance, power, and area (PPA). Prior work either employs excessive expert efforts to guide microarchitecture parameter tuning or demands high computing resources to prepare datasets and train black-box prediction models for DSE.
