Growing concerns about power have revived interest in in-order pipelines. In-order pipelines sacrifice single-thread performance. Specifically, they do not allow execution to flow...
Current integration trends embrace the prosperity of single-chip multi-core processors. Although multi-core processors deliver significantly improved system throughput, single-thr...
This paper presents a hardware-based dynamic optimizer that continuously optimizes an application’s instruction stream. In continuous optimization, dataflow optimizations are p...
