Instruction supply is a crucial component of processor performance. Instruction prefetching has been proposed as a mechanism to help reduce instruction cache misses, which in turn...
Aggressive technology scaling to 45nm and below introduces serious reliability challenges to the design of microprocessors. Large SRAM structures used for caches are particularly ...

Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability problems...
This paper analyzes a range of architectures for efficient delivery of VLIW instructions for embedded media kernels. The analysis takes an efficient Filter Cache as a baseline and ...
