We introduce dependence-based pre-computation as a complement to history-based target prediction schemes. We present pre-computation in the context of virtual function calls (v-ca...
Indirect branches have become increasingly common in modular programs written in modern object-oriented languages and virtualmachine based runtime systems. Unfortunately, the pred...
Indirect jump instructions are used to implement increasinglycommon programming constructs such as virtual function calls, switch-case statements, jump tables, and interface calls...
— The trend in Grid computing towards more data intensive applications, accessing more and more relational databases and requiring advanced integration of secondhand and publicly...
