: This paper presents an evaluation of our Scheduled Dataflow (SDF) Processor. Recent focus in the field of new processor architectures is mainly on VLIW (e.g. IA-64), superscalar ...
Feedback-directed Optimization has become an increasingly important tool in designing and building optimizing compilers as itprovides a means to analyze complexprogram behavior th...
In this paper, we present a novel mechanism that implements register renaming, dynamic speculation and precise interrupts. Renaming of registers is performed during the instructio...
This paper investigates a class of main memory accesses (invalid memory traffic) that can be eliminated altogether. Invalid memory traffic is real data traffic that transfers inva...
The effective use of processor caches is crucial to the performance of applications. It has been shown that cache misses are not evenly distributed throughout a program. In applic...
