The Effect of Program Optimization on Trace Cache Efficiency
Trace cache, an instruction fetch technique that reduces taken branch penalties by storing and fetching program instructions in dynamic execution order, dramatically improves inst...

Improving trace cache hit rates using the sliding window fill mechanism and fill select table
As superscalar processors become increasingly wide, it is inevitable that the large set of instructions to be fetched every cycle will span multiple noncontiguous basic blocks. Th...
