In this paper, we investigate the use of instruction set simulators (ISS) based on binary translation to accelerate full timed multiprocessor system simulation at transaction leve...
Abstract There are increasing demands on portable communication devices to run multimedia applications. ISO (an International Organization for Standardization) standard MPEG-4 is a...
The widening gap between CPU and memory speed has made caches an integral feature of modern highperformance processors. The high degree of configurability of cache memory can requ...

In sub-90nm technologies, more frequent hard faults pose a serious burden on processor design and yield control. In addition to manufacturing-time chip repair schemes, microarchit...
In this paper, we introduce PTLsim, a cycle accurate full system x86-64 microprocessor simulator and virtual machine. PTLsim models a modern superscalar out of order x86-64 proces...
