To continue to improve processor performance, microarchitects seek to increase the effective instruction level parallelism (ILP) that can be exploited in applications. A fundament...
Conventionally, the use of virtual memory in real-time systems has been avoided, the main reason being the difficulties it provides to timing analysis. However, there is a trend ...
Accurate branch prediction is essential for obtaining high performance in pipelined superscalar processors that execute instructions speculatively. Some of the best current predic...
Accurate branch prediction is essential for obtaining high performance in pipelined superscalar processors. Though many dynamic branch predictors have been proposed to obtain high...
Deeply pipelined, superscalar processors require accurate branch prediction to achieve high performance. Two-level branch predictors have been shown to achieve high prediction acc...
