Dynamic binary translators (DBT) have recently attracted much attention for embedded systems. The effective implementation of DBT in these systems is challenging due to tight cons...
Functional correctness is a vital attribute of any hardware design. Unfortunately, due to extremely complex architectures, widespread components, such as microprocessors, are often...
Hybrid branch predictors combine the predictions of multiple single-level or two-level branch predictors. The prediction-combining hardware -- the "meta-predictor" -may ...
