Analysis of the Execution Time Unpredictability caused by Dynamic Branch Prediction
This paper investigates how dynamic branch prediction in a microprocessor affects the predictability of execution time for software running on that processor. By means of experim...

Hybrid analytical modeling of pending cache hits, data prefetching, and MSHRs
As the number of transistors integrated on a chip continues to increase, a growing challenge is accurately modeling performance in the early stages of processor design. Analytical...

Timing Anomalies in Dynamically Scheduled Microprocessors
Previous timing analysis methods have assumed that the worst-case instruction execution time necessarily corresponds to the worst-case behavior. We show that this assumption is wr...

Trace Cache Sampling Filter
This paper presents a new technique for efficient usage of small trace caches. A trace cache can significantly increase the performance of wide out-oforder processors, but to be e...

Microcaches
We describe a radically new cache architecture and demonstrate that it offers a huge reduction in cache cost, size and power consumption whilst maintaining performance on a wide ra...
