Trace preconstruction
Trace caches enable high bandwidth, low latency instruction supply, but have a high miss penalty and relatively large working sets. Consequently, their performance may suffer due ...

Improving virtual function call target prediction via dependence-based pre-computation
We introduce dependence-based pre-computation as a complement to history-based target prediction schemes. We present pre-computation in the context of virtual function calls (v-ca...

Explicit Communication and Synchronization in SARC
SARC merges cache controller and network interface functions by relying on a single hardware primitive: each access checks the tag and the state of the addressed line for possible...

A case for fault tolerance and performance enhancement using chip multi-processors
This paper makes a case for using multi-core processors to simultaneously achieve transient-fault tolerance and performance enhancement. Our approach is extended from a recent late...

Phantom-BTB: a virtualized branch target buffer design
Modern processors use branch target buffers (BTBs) to predict the target address of branches such that they can fetch ahead in the instruction stream increasing concurrency and pe...
