This paper describes a scalable, low-complexity alternative to the conventional load/store queue (LSQ) for superscalar processors that execute load and store instructions speculat...
As processor architectures have increased their reliance on speculative execution to improve performance, the importance of accurate prediction of what to execute speculatively ha...
Comprehensive exploration of the design space parameters at the system-level is a crucial task to evaluate architectural tradeoffs accounting for both energy and performance const...

The memory subsystem accounts for a significant portion of the aggregate energy budget of contemporary embedded systems. Moreover, there exists a large potential for optimizing th...
We develop two simple interval-based models for dynamic superscalar processors. These models allow us to: i) predict with great accuracy performance and power consumption under va...
