Signature Buffer: Bridging Performance Gap between Registers and Caches
Data communications between producer instructions and consumer instructions through memory incur extra delays that degrade processor performance. In this paper, we introduce a new...

Efficient worst case timing analysis of data caching
Recent progress in worst case timing analysis of programs has made it possible to perform accurate timing analysis of pipelined execution and instruction caching, which is necessa...

Criticality-based optimizations for efficient load processing
Some instructions have more impact on processor performance than others. Identification of these critical instructions can be used to modify and improve instruction processing. Pr...

Do Trace Cache, Value Prediction and Prefetching Improve SMT Throughput?
While trace cache, value prediction, and prefetching have been shown to be effective in the single-threaded superscalar, there has been no analysis of these techniques in a Simulta...

Trace preconstruction
Trace caches enable high bandwidth, low latency instruction supply, but have a high miss penalty and relatively large working sets. Consequently, their performance may suffer due ...
