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...
Embedded software must meet conflicting requirements such as being highly reliable, running on resource-constrained platforms, and being developed rapidly. Static program analysi...
Instruction-grain lifeguards monitor the events of a running application at the level of individual instructions in order to identify and help mitigate application bugs and securi...
