Pipeline Timing Analysis Using a Trace-Driven Simulator
In this paper we present a technique for Worst-Case Execution Time WCET analysis for pipelined processors. Our technique uses a standard simulator instead of special-purpose pipel...

Towards Scalable Event Tracing for High End Systems
Although event tracing of parallel applications offers highly detailed performance information, tracing on current leading edge systems may lead to unacceptable perturbation of the...

The Effect of Program Optimization on Trace Cache Efficiency
Trace cache, an instruction fetch technique that reduces taken branch penalties by storing and fetching program instructions in dynamic execution order, dramatically improves inst...

Improving trace cache hit rates using the sliding window fill mechanism and fill select table
As superscalar processors become increasingly wide, it is inevitable that the large set of instructions to be fetched every cycle will span multiple noncontiguous basic blocks. Th...

Synthetic Trace-Driven Simulation of Cache Memory
The widening gap between CPU and memory speed has made caches an integral feature of modern highperformance processors. The high degree of configurability of cache memory can requ...
