In this paper, we introduce PTLsim, a cycle accurate full system x86-64 microprocessor simulator and virtual machine. PTLsim models a modern superscalar out of order x86-64 proces...
Compiler optimizations are often driven by specific assumptions about the underlying architecture and implementation of the target machine. For example, when targeting shared-mem...

The recent paradigm shift to multi-core systems results in high system throughput within a specified power budget. However, future systems still require good single thread perfor...
Heterogeneous processors that mix big high performance cores with small low power cores promise excellent single– threaded performance coupled with high multi–threaded through...
