Control Independence in Trace Processors
Branch mispredictions are a major obstacle to exploiting instruction-level parallelism, at least in part because all instructions after a mispredicted branch are squashed. However...

Integrated Predicated and Speculative Execution in the IMPACT EPIC Architecture
Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC) architectures require the compiler to express program instruction level parallelism directly to the hardware. EPIC techniques whic...
