Guaranteeing instruction fetch behavior with a lookahead instruction fetch engine (LIFE)
Instruction fetch behavior has been shown to be very regular and predictable, even for diverse application areas. In this work, we propose the Lookahead Instruction Fetch Engine (...

Using a Swap Instruction to Coalesce Loads and Stores
A swap instruction, which exchanges a value in memory with a value of a register, is available on many architectures. The primary application of a swap instruction has been for pro...

Dynamic Binary Translation for Accumulator-Oriented Architectures
A dynamic binary translation system for a co-designed virtual machine is described and evaluated. The underlying hardware directly executes an accumulator-oriented instruction set...
