Estimating the Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) of a program on a given processor is important for the schedulability analysis of real-time systems. WCET analysis techniques typic...
We present two novel strategies to increase the scope for application of speculative code motions: (1) Adding scheduling steps dynamically during scheduling to conditional branche...

This paper presents the Alpha EV8 conditional branch predictor. The Alpha EV8 microprocessor project, canceled in June 2001 in a late phase of development, envisioned an aggressiv...
In the upcoming video coding standard, MPEG-4 AVC/JVT/H.264, motion estimation is allowed to use multiple references and multiple block sizes to improve the rate-distortion perfor...
On a N-way issue superscalar processor, the front end instruction fetch engine must deliver instructions to the execution core at a sustained rate higher than N instructions per c...
