This paper presents a quantification of the timing effects that advanced processor features like data and instruction cache, pipelines, branch prediction units and out-oforder ex...
Previous research has shown that the SPEC benchmarks achieve low miss ratios in relatively small instruction caches. This paper presents evidence that current software-development...

The effectiveness of the memory hierarchy is critical for the performance of current processors. The performance of the memory hierarchy can be improved by means of program transf...
Today, embedded processors are expected to be able to run complex, algorithm-heavy applications that were originally designed and coded for general-purpose processors. As a result...
