This paper describes the design of a dynamic branchpredictorfor a VLIW processor. The developed branch predictor predicts the direction of a branch, i.e., taken or not taken, and ...
This paper explores the role of data analysis methods to support system-level designers in characterising the performance of embedded applications. In particular, we address the p...
This paper studies the impact of L2 cache sharing on threads that simultaneously share the cache, on a Chip Multi-Processor (CMP) architecture. Cache sharing impacts threads non-u...
