Branch misprediction penalty consists of two components: the time wasted on mis-speculative execution until the mispredicted branch is resolved and the time to restart the pipelin...

Branch predictors and processor front-ends have been the focus of a number of computer architecture studies. Typically they are evaluated separately from other components using tr...

In this paper, we propose a technique that uses an additional mini cache, the L0-Cache, located between the instruction cache I-Cache and the CPU core. This mechanism can provid...

Hybrid processors are HW/SW co-designed processors that leverage blocked-execution, the execution of regions of instructions as atomic blocks, to facilitate aggressive speculative...
This paper makes a case for using multi-core processors to simultaneously achieve transient-fault tolerance and performance enhancement. Our approach is extended from a recent late...
