Efficient Instruction Cache Simulation and Execution Profiling with a Threaded-Code Interpreter
We present an extension to an existing SPARC V8 instruction set simulator, SimICS, to support accurate profiling of branches and instruction cache misses. SimICS had previously su...

Adaptive prefetching for shared cache based chip multiprocessors
Abstract—Chip multiprocessors (CMPs) present a unique scenario for software data prefetching with subtle tradeoffs between memory bandwidth and performance. In a shared L2 based ...
