Instruction fetch bandwidth is feared to be a major limiting factor to the performance of future wide-issue aggressive superscalars. In this paper, we focus on Database applicatio...
Abstract This paper examines the behavior of current and next generation microprocessors' fetch engines while running Decision Support Systems (DSS) workloads. We analyze the ...
Branch mispredictions can have a major performance impact on high-performance processors. Multipath execution has recently been introduced to help limit the misprediction penaltie...
Database applications such as online transaction processing (OLTP) and decision support systems (DSS) constitute the largest and fastest-growing segment of the market for multipro...
Current instruction fetch policies in SMT processors are oriented towards optimization of overall throughput and/or fairness. However, they provide no control over how individual ...
