Cache-Conscious Structure Layout
Hardware trends have produced an increasing disparity between processor speeds and memory access times. While a variety of techniques for tolerating or reducing memory latency hav...

Phantom-BTB: a virtualized branch target buffer design
Modern processors use branch target buffers (BTBs) to predict the target address of branches such that they can fetch ahead in the instruction stream increasing concurrency and pe...

STEP: Self-Tuning Energy-safe Predictors
Data access prediction has been proposed as a mechanism to overcome latency lag, and more recently as a means of conserving energy in mobile systems. We present a fully adaptive p...

Overlapping dependent loads with addressless preload
Modern out-of-order processors with non-blocking caches exploit Memory-Level Parallelism (MLP) by overlapping cache misses in a wide instruction window. The exploitation of MLP, h...

Transparent Threads: Resource Sharing in SMT Processors for High Single-Thread Performance
Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processors achieve high processor throughput at the expense of single-thread performance. This paper investigates resource allocation policies fo...
