High performance processors use checkpointing to rapidly recover from branch mispredictions and possibly other exceptions. We demonstrate that conventional checkpointing becomes u...
The increase in high-performance microprocessor power consumption is due in part to the large power overhead of wideissue, highly speculative cores. Microarchitectural speculation...

This paper examines the feasibility of performing architectural studies with trace sampling for a suite of desktop application traces on Windows NT. This paper makes three contrib...
Control independence has been put forward as a significant new source of instruction-level parallelism for future generation processors. However, its performance potential under p...
