Performance evaluation of contemporary processors is becoming increasingly difficult due to the lack of proper frameworks. Traditionally, cycle-accurate simulators have been exte...
We have developed a set of performance prediction tools which help to estimate the achievable speedups from parallelizing a sequential simulation. The tools focus on two important...
Accurate instruction fetch and branch prediction is increasingly important on today’s wide-issue architectures. Fetch prediction is the process of determining the next instructi...
To increase the bandwidth of synchronous memories that are widely adopted for high performance memory systems, a predictive mode control scheme is proposed to reduce memory latenc...
We demonstrate that the run time of implicitly parallel programs can be statically predicted with considerable accuracy when expressed within the constraints of a skeletal, shapel...
