Instruction Recycling on a Multiple-Path Processor
Processors that can simultaneously execute multiple paths of execution will only exacerbate the fetch bandwidth problem already plaguing conventional processors. On a multiple-pat...

Performance-aware speculation control using wrong path usefulness prediction
Fetch gating mechanisms have been proposed to gate the processor pipeline to reduce the wasted energy consumption due to wrongpath (i.e. mis-speculated) instructions. These scheme...

Optimization of Instruction Fetch for Decision Support Workloads
Instruction fetch bandwidth is feared to be a major limiting factor to the performance of future wide-issue aggressive superscalars. In this paper, we focus on Database applicatio...

Speculative Versioning Cache
Dependences among loads and stores whose addresses are unknown hinder the extraction of instruction level parallelism during the execution of a sequential program. Such ambiguous ...
