ReSlice: Selective Re-Execution of Long-Retired Misspeculated Instructions Using Forward Slicing
As more data value speculation mechanisms are being proposed to speed-up processors, there is growing pressure on the critical processor structures that must buffer the state of t...

Improving the Accuracy and Performance of Memory Communication Through Renaming
As processors continue to exploit more instruction level parallelism, a greater demand is placed on reducing the e ects of memory access latency. In this paper, we introduce a nov...

WCET-centric partial instruction cache locking
Caches play an important role in embedded systems by bridging the performance gap between high speed processors and slow memory. At the same time, caches introduce imprecision in ...

Speculative Updates of Local and Global Branch History: A Quantitative Analysis
In today's wide-issue processors, even small branch-misprediction rates introduce substantial performance penalties. Worse yet, inadequate branch prediction creates a bottlen...

Exploiting data-width locality to increase superscalar execution bandwidth
In a 64-bit processor, many of the data values actually used in computations require much narrower data-widths. In this study, we demonstrate that instruction data-widths exhibit ...
