One potentialdisadvantage of a machine with a reduced instruction. set is that object programs may be substantially larger than those for a machine with a richer, more complex ins...
As superscalar processors become increasingly wide, it is inevitable that the large set of instructions to be fetched every cycle will span multiple noncontiguous basic blocks. Th...
Current trends in processor design are pointing to deeper and wider pipelines and superscalar architectures. The efficient use of these resources requires speculative execution, ...

Trace cache, an instruction fetch technique that reduces taken branch penalties by storing and fetching program instructions in dynamic execution order, dramatically improves inst...
We present a detailed characterization of instruction cache performance for IBM’s J2EE-enabled web server, WebSphere Application Server (WAS). When running two J2EE benchmarks o...
