Cycles per Instruction (CPI) stacks break down processor execution time into a baseline CPI plus a number of miss event CPI components. CPI breakdowns can be very helpful in gaini...
Abstract-- Cycle accurate simulation has long been the primary tool for micro-architecture design and evaluation. Though accurate, the slow speed often imposes constraints on the e...
Performance evaluation of contemporary processors is becoming increasingly difficult due to the lack of proper frameworks. Traditionally, cycle-accurate simulators have been exte...
Abstract—Power modeling based on performance monitoring counters (PMCs) has attracted the interest of many researchers since it become a quick approach to understand and analyse ...
Superscalar microprocessor efficiency is generally not as high as anticipated. In fact, sustained utilization below thirty percent of peak is not uncommon, even for fully optimized...
