Cache Filtering Techniques to Reduce the Negative Impact of Useless Speculative Memory References on Processor Performance
High-performance processors employ aggressive speculation and prefetching techniques to increase performance. Speculative memory references caused by these techniques sometimes br...

Requirements for and Design of a Processor with Predictable Timing
Abstract. This paper introduces a set of design principles that aim to make processor architectures amenable to static timing analysis. Based on these principles, we give a design ...

Branchless cycle prediction for embedded processors
Modern embedded processors access the Branch Target Buffer (BTB) every cycle to speculate branch target addresses. Such accesses, quite often, are unnecessary as there is no branc...

Physical Experimentation with Prefetching Helper Threads on Intel's Hyper-Threaded Processors
Pre-execution techniques have received much attention as an effective way of prefetching cache blocks to tolerate the everincreasing memory latency. A number of pre-execution tech...

Reliable performance prediction for multigrid software on distributed memory systems
We propose a model for describing and predicting the parallel performance of a broad class of parallel numerical software on distributed memory architectures. The purpose of this ...
