Guided Region Prefetching: A Cooperative Hardware/Software Approach
Despite large caches, main-memory access latencies still cause significant performance losses in many applications. Numerous hardware and software prefetching schemes tolerate th...

Guaranteeing instruction fetch behavior with a lookahead instruction fetch engine (LIFE)
Instruction fetch behavior has been shown to be very regular and predictable, even for diverse application areas. In this work, we propose the Lookahead Instruction Fetch Engine (...

Call-chain Software Instruction Prefetching in J2EE Server Applications
We present a detailed characterization of instruction cache performance for IBM’s J2EE-enabled web server, WebSphere Application Server (WAS). When running two J2EE benchmarks o...

Effective Instruction Prefetching via Fetch Prestaging
As technological process shrinks and clock rate increases, instruction caches can no longer be accessed in one cycle. Alternatives are implementing smaller caches (with higher mis...
