Trace reuse improves the performance of processors by skipping the execution of sequences of redundant instructions. However, many reusable traces do not have all of their inputs ...
Various studies have shown that OS jitter can degrade parallel program performance considerably at large processor counts. Most sources of system jitter fall broadly into 5 catego...
As process technology advances toward deep submicron (below 90nm), static power becomes a new challenge to address for energy-efficient high performance processors, especially for...
Real-time systems design involves many important choices, including that of the processor. The fastest processors achieve performance by utilizing architectural features that make...
