Rescue: A Microarchitecture for Testability and Defect Tolerance
Scaling feature size improves processor performance but increases each device’s susceptibility to defects (i.e., hard errors). As a result, fabrication technology must improve s...

A Simple Low-Energy Instruction Wakeup Mechanism
Instruction issue consumes a large amount of energy in out of order processors, largely in the wakeup logic. Proposed solutions to the problem require prediction or additional hard...

Fetch Halting on Critical Load Misses
As the performance gap between processors and memory systems increases, the CPU spends more time stalled waiting for data from main memory. Critical long latency instructions, suc...

Do Trace Cache, Value Prediction and Prefetching Improve SMT Throughput?
While trace cache, value prediction, and prefetching have been shown to be effective in the single-threaded superscalar, there has been no analysis of these techniques in a Simulta...
