Guaranteeing instruction fetch behavior with a lookahead instruction fetch engine (LIFE)
Instruction fetch behavior has been shown to be very regular and predictable, even for diverse application areas. In this work, we propose the Lookahead Instruction Fetch Engine (...

Locating cache performance bottlenecks using data profiling
Effective use of CPU data caches is critical to good performance, but poor cache use patterns are often hard to spot using existing execution profiling tools. Typical profilers at...

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 ...

Signature Buffer: Bridging Performance Gap between Registers and Caches
Data communications between producer instructions and consumer instructions through memory incur extra delays that degrade processor performance. In this paper, we introduce a new...
