Modern computer architectures increasingly depend on mechanisms that estimate future control flow decisions to increase performance. Mechanisms such as speculative execution and p...
level of abstraction, compared with the program representation for scalar optimizations. For example, loop unrolling and loop unrolland-jam transformations exploit the large regist...

Speculative pre-execution achieves efficient data prefetching by running additional prefetching threads on spare hardware contexts. Various implementations for speculative pre-exe...
Modern architectures, such as the Intel Itanium, support speculation, a hardware mechanism that allows the early execution of expensive operations—possibly even before it is kno...
