— Increasing sizes of benchmarks make detailed simulation an extremely time consuming process. Statistical techniques such as the SimPoint methodology have been proposed in order...
The recently released SPEC CPU2006 benchmark suite is expected to be used by computer designers and computer architecture researchers for pre-silicon early design analysis. Partia...
Abstract—We generate and provide miniature synthetic benchmark clones for modern workloads to solve two pre-silicon design challenges, namely: 1) huge simulation time (weeks to m...
Abstract-- Computer architects must determine how to most effectively use finite computational resources when running simulations to evaluate new architectural ideas. To facilitate...
The time required to simulate a complete benchmark program using the cycle-accurate model of a microprocessor can be prohibitively high. One of the proposed methodologies, represe...
