The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the memory hierarchy performance. In particular, higher cache hit rate can provide significant performance boos...
In today's wide-issue processors, even small branch-misprediction rates introduce substantial performance penalties. Worse yet, inadequate branch prediction creates a bottlen...

This paper presents a new method for branch prediction. The key idea is to use one of the simplest possible neural networks, the perceptron as an alternative to the commonly used ...
Background: Phylogenetic trees are an important tool for representing evolutionary relationships among organisms. In a phylogram or chronogram, the ordering of taxa is not conside...

Fast instruction decoding is a challenge for the design of CISC microprocessors. A well-known solution to overcome this problem is using a trace cache. It stores and fetches alrea...
