We present a novel mechanism, called meeting point thread characterization, to dynamically detect critical threads in a parallel region. We define the critical thread the one with...
— System-on-Chip designs often have a large number of timing domains. Communication between these domains requires synchronization, and the failure probabilities of these synchro...
Previous research has shown that the SPEC benchmarks achieve low miss ratios in relatively small instruction caches. This paper presents evidence that current software-development...

Abstract—We generate and provide miniature synthetic benchmark clones for modern workloads to solve two pre-silicon design challenges, namely: 1) huge simulation time (weeks to m...
This paper presents a detailed branch characterization of an Oracle based commercial on-line transaction processing workload, Oracle Database Benchmark (ODB), running on an IA32 p...
