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...
Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) is emerging as an effective microarchitecture model to increase the utilization of resources in modern super-scalar processors. However, co-sched...
We have fabricated a Chip Multiprocessor prototype code-named Merlot to proof our novel speculative multithreading architecture. On Merlot, multiple threads provide wider issue wi...
Modern compilers must expose sufficient amounts of Instruction-Level Parallelism (ILP) to achieve the promised performance increases of superscalar and VLIW processors. One of the...

Current simulation-sampling techniques construct accurate model state for each measurement by continuously warming large microarchitectural structures (e.g., caches and the branch...
