Software-based instruction caching for embedded processors
While hardware instruction caches are present in virtually all general-purpose and high-performance microprocessors today, many embedded processors use SRAM or scratchpad memories...

Efficient Instruction Cache Simulation and Execution Profiling with a Threaded-Code Interpreter
We present an extension to an existing SPARC V8 instruction set simulator, SimICS, to support accurate profiling of branches and instruction cache misses. SimICS had previously su...

Web server protection by customized instruction set encoding
We present a novel technique to secure the execution of a processor against the execution of malicious code (trojans, viruses). The main idea is to permute parts of the opcode val...
