Modern processors use branch target buffers (BTBs) to predict the target address of branches such that they can fetch ahead in the instruction stream increasing concurrency and pe...
1 Many computer security threats involve execution of unauthorized foreign code on the victim computer. Viruses, network and email worms, Trojan horses, backdoor programs used in ...
A variety of compilers, static analyses, and testing frameworks rely heavily on path frequency information. Uses for such information range from optimizing transformations to bug ...
Security is a major, frequent concern in extensible software systems such as Java Virtual Machines and the Common Language Runtime. These systems aim to enable simple, classic app...
— Processor architectures with large instruction windows have been proposed to expose more instruction-level parallelism (ILP) and increase performance. Some of the proposed arch...
