Mapping problem-space features into solution-space features is a fundamental configuration problem in software product line engineering. A configuration problem is defined as g...
If current technology scaling trends hold, leakage power dissipation will soon become the dominant source of power consumption in high performance processors. Caches, due to the f...
Dependences among loads and stores whose addresses are unknown hinder the extraction of instruction level parallelism during the execution of a sequential program. Such ambiguous ...

If-conversion is a compiler technique that reduces the misprediction penalties caused by hard-to-predict branches, transforming control dependencies into data dependencies. Althou...
The time required to simulate a complete benchmark program using the cycle-accurate model of a microprocessor can be prohibitively high. One of the proposed methodologies, represe...
