Shade: A Fast Instruction-Set Simulator for Execution Profiling
Shade is an instruction-set simulator and custom trace generator. Application programs are executed and traced under the control of a user-supplied trace analyzer. To reduce commu...

Accelerating architectural exploration using canonical instruction segments
Detailed microarchitectural simulators are not well suited for exploring large design spaces due to their excessive simulation times. We introduce AXCIS, a framework for fast and ...

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...

Improving Balanced Scheduling with Compiler Optimizations that Increase Instruction-Level Parallelism
Traditional list schedulers order instructions based on an optimistic estimate of the load latency imposed by the hardware and therefore cannot respond to variations in memory lat...

Pipeline Timing Analysis Using a Trace-Driven Simulator
In this paper we present a technique for Worst-Case Execution Time WCET analysis for pipelined processors. Our technique uses a standard simulator instead of special-purpose pipel...
