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...
Although event tracing of parallel applications offers highly detailed performance information, tracing on current leading edge systems may lead to unacceptable perturbation of the...
Trace cache, an instruction fetch technique that reduces taken branch penalties by storing and fetching program instructions in dynamic execution order, dramatically improves inst...
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...
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...
