eXtended Block Cache
This paper describes a new instruction-supply mechanism, called the eXtended Block Cache (XBC). The goal of the XBC is to improve on the Trace Cache (TC) hit rate, while providing...

Understanding the backward slices of performance degrading instructions
For many applications, branch mispredictions and cache misses limit a processor’s performance to a level well below its peak instruction throughput. A small fraction of static i...

Control flow optimization for supercomputer scalar processing
Control intensive scalar programs pose a very different challenge to highly pipelined supercomputers than vectorizable numeric applications. Function call/return and branch instru...
