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...
This paper is devoted to explore media correlation and media synchronization in a composite multimedia document, the so-called navigated hypermedia document in our language learni...
Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) increases processor throughput by multiplexing resources among several threads. Despite the commercial availability of SMT processors, several as...
: - A filter cache is proposed at a higher level than the L1 (main) cache in the memory hierarchy and is much smaller. The typical size of filter cache is of the order of 512 Bytes...
Branches that depend directly or indirectly on load instructions are a leading cause of mispredictions by state-of-the-art branch predictors. For a branch of this type, there is a...
