A compiler framework for speculative analysis and optimizations
Speculative execution, such as control speculation and data speculation, is an effective way to improve program performance. Using edge/path profile information or simple heuristi...

Exploiting Semantics and Speculation for Improving the Performance of Read-only Transactions
A read-only transaction (ROT) does not modify any data. Efforts are being made in the literature to improve the performance of ROTs without correctness and data currency issues. T...

Improving the Performance of Read-Only Transactions Through Speculation
A read-only transaction (ROT) does not modify any data. The main issues regarding processing ROTs are correctness, data currency and performance. Two-phase Locking (2PL) protocol i...

Performance improvement with circuit-level speculation
Current superscalar microprocessors’ performance depends on its frequency and the number of useful instructions that can be processed per cycle (IPC). In this paper we propose a...

Unspeculation
Modern architectures, such as the Intel Itanium, support speculation, a hardware mechanism that allows the early execution of expensive operations—possibly even before it is kno...
