Modern embedded processors use small and simple branch predictors to improve performance. Using complex and accurate branch predictors, while desirable, is not possible as such pre...
Software thread integration (STI) is a compilation technique which enables the efficient use of an application’s fine-grain idle time on generic processors without special hardw...

This paper briefly reviews the current research into RISC microprocessor architecture, which now seems to be so complex as to make the acronym somewhat of an oxymoron. In response...
Narrow values that can be represented by less number of bits than the full machine width occur very frequently in programs. On the other hand, clustering mechanisms enable cost- a...
