Memory Bank Predictors
Cache memories are commonly implemented through multiple memory banks to improve bandwidth and latency. The early knowledge of the data cache bank that an instruction will access ...

Checkpointed Early Load Retirement
Long-latency loads are critical in today's processors due to the ever-increasing speed gap with memory. Not only do these loads block the execution of dependent instructions,...

Pipeline Timing Analysis Using a Trace-Driven Simulator
In this paper we present a technique for Worst-Case Execution Time WCET analysis for pipelined processors. Our technique uses a standard simulator instead of special-purpose pipel...

Access Region Locality for High-Bandwidth Processor Memory System Design
This paper studies an interesting yet less explored behavior of memory access instructions, called access region locality. Unlike the traditional temporal and spatial data localit...

Understanding the effects of wrong-path memory references on processor performance
High-performance out-of-order processors spend a significant portion of their execution time on the incorrect program path even though they employ aggressive branch prediction al...
