Compile-time decided instruction cache locking using worst-case execution paths
Caches are notorious for their unpredictability. It is difficult or even impossible to predict if a memory access results in a definite cache hit or miss. This unpredictability i...

Modeling out-of-order processors for WCET analysis
Estimating the Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) of a program on a given processor is important for the schedulability analysis of real-time systems. WCET analysis techniques typic...

Instruction Cache Fetch Policies for Speculative Execution
Current trends in processor design are pointing to deeper and wider pipelines and superscalar architectures. The efficient use of these resources requires speculative execution, ...

On Augmenting Trace Cache for High-Bandwidth Value Prediction
Value prediction is a technique that breaks true data dependences by predicting the outcome of an instruction and speculatively executes its data-dependent instructions based on 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...
