Accurately approximating superscalar processor performance from traces
Trace-driven simulation of superscalar processors is particularly complicated. The dynamic nature of superscalar processors combined with the static nature of traces can lead to l...

Cache Contents Selection for Statically-Locked Instruction Caches: An Algorithm Comparison
Cache memories have been extensively used to bridge the gap between high speed processors and relatively slower main memories. However, they are sources of predictability problems...

Instruction Cache Energy Saving Through Compiler Way-Placement
Fetching instructions from a set-associative cache in an embedded processor can consume a large amount of energy due to the tag checks performed. Recent proposals to address this ...

Instruction cache locking using temporal reuse profile
The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the average memory access latency. Improving the cache hit rate can have significant positive impact on the per...

On High-Bandwidth Data Cache Design for Multi-Issue Processors
Highly aggressive multi-issue processor designs of the past few years and projections for the next decade require that we redesign the operation of the cache memory system. The nu...
