A first look at the interplay of code reordering and configurable caches
The instruction cache is a popular target for optimizations of microprocessor-based systems because of the cache’s high impact on system performance and power, and because of th...

Understanding the backward slices of performance degrading instructions
For many applications, branch mispredictions and cache misses limit a processor’s performance to a level well below its peak instruction throughput. A small fraction of static i...

Efficient Instruction Cache Simulation and Execution Profiling with a Threaded-Code Interpreter
We present an extension to an existing SPARC V8 instruction set simulator, SimICS, to support accurate profiling of branches and instruction cache misses. SimICS had previously su...
