Background: The nucleotide sequence flanking the translation initiation codon (start codon context) affects the translational efficiency of eukaryotic mRNAs, and may indicate the ...
Predicated execution has been used to reduce the number of branch mispredictions by eliminating hard-to-predict branches. However, the additional instruction overhead and addition...

As more data value speculation mechanisms are being proposed to speed-up processors, there is growing pressure on the critical processor structures that must buffer the state of t...
Modern processors use branch target buffers (BTBs) to predict the target address of branches such that they can fetch ahead in the instruction stream increasing concurrency and pe...
Embedded services and applications that interact with the real world often, over time, need to run on different kinds of hardware (low-cost microcontrollers to powerful multicore ...
