The Effect of Instruction Set Complexity on Program Size and Memory Performance
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...

Improving trace cache hit rates using the sliding window fill mechanism and fill select table
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...

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, ...

The Effect of Program Optimization on Trace Cache Efficiency
Trace cache, an instruction fetch technique that reduces taken branch penalties by storing and fetching program instructions in dynamic execution order, dramatically improves inst...

Call-chain Software Instruction Prefetching in J2EE Server Applications
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...
