Instruction fetch deferral using static slack
In this paper we present an approach to boosting performance and tolerating latency by deferring non-critical instructions into a deferred queue for later processing. As such, ins...

The Structure of a Compiler for Explicit and Implicit Parallelism
Abstract. We describe the structure of a compilation system that generates code for processor architectures supporting both explicit and implicit parallel threads. Such architectur...

Trace preconstruction
Trace caches enable high bandwidth, low latency instruction supply, but have a high miss penalty and relatively large working sets. Consequently, their performance may suffer due ...

A Scalable Front-End Architecture for Fast Instruction Delivery
In the pursuit of instruction-level parallelism, significant demands are placed on a processor's instruction delivery mechanism. Delivering the performance necessary to meet ...

Fetch Directed Instruction Prefetching
Instruction supply is a crucial component of processor performance. Instruction prefetching has been proposed as a mechanism to help reduce instruction cache misses, which in turn...
