The use of large instruction windows coupled with aggressive out-oforder and prefetching capabilities has provided significant improvements in processor performance. In this paper...
The fill unit is the structure which collects blocks of instructions and combines them into multi-block segments for storage in a trace cache. In this paper, we expand the role of...
In main-memory databases, the number of processor cache misses has a critical impact on the performance of the system. Cacheconscious indices are designed to improve performance b...
Reconfigurable instruction set processors have the capability to adapt their instruction sets to the application being executed through a reconfiguration in their hardware. Throug...
Abstract. Instruction hints have become an important way to communicate compile-time information to the hardware. They can be generated by the compiler and the post-link optimizer ...
