Accurate instruction fetch and branch prediction is increasingly important on today’s wide-issue architectures. Fetch prediction is the process of determining the next instructi...
We address the classic wire-length estimation problem and propose a new statistical wire-length estimation approach that captures the probability distribution function of net leng...

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 ...
We describe the Slice Processor micro-architecture that implements a generalized operation-based prefetching mechanism. Operation-based prefetchers predict the series of operation...

Conventional processors use a fully-associative store queue (SQ) to implement store-load forwarding. Associative search latency does not scale well to capacities and bandwidths re...
