Instruction Cache Fetch Policies for Speculative Execution
Current trends in processor design are pointing to deeper and wider pipelines and superscalar architectures. The efficient use of these resources requires speculative execution, ...

Temporal instruction fetch streaming
—L1 instruction-cache misses pose a critical performance bottleneck in commercial server workloads. Cache access latency constraints preclude L1 instruction caches large enough t...

Modeled and Measured Instruction Fetching Performance for Superscalar Microprocessors
—Instruction fetching is critical to the performance of a superscalar microprocessor. We develop a mathematical model for three different cache techniques and evaluate its perfor...

Addressing instruction fetch bottlenecks by using an instruction register file
The Instruction Register File (IRF) is an architectural extension for providing improved access to frequently occurring instructions. An optimizing compiler can exploit an IRF by ...

Instruction Fetching: Coping with Code Bloat
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...
