Slipstream Processors: Improving both Performance and Fault Tolerance
Processors execute the full dynamic instruction stream to arrive at the final output of a program, yet there exist shorter instruction streams that produce the same overall effec...

Improving Branch Prediction and Predicated Execution in Out-of-Order Processors
If-conversion is a compiler technique that reduces the misprediction penalties caused by hard-to-predict branches, transforming control dependencies into data dependencies. Althou...

Conditional Memory Ordering
Conventional relaxed memory ordering techniques follow a proactive model: at a synchronization point, a processor makes its own updates to memory available to other processors by ...
