On Instruction-Level Method for Reducing Cache Penalties in Embedded VLIW Processors
Usual cache optimisation techniques for high performance computing are difficult to apply in embedded VLIW applications. First, embedded applications are not always well structur...

Address-branch correlation: A novel locality for long-latency hard-to-predict branches
Hard-to-predict branches depending on longlatency cache-misses have been recognized as a major performance obstacle for modern microprocessors. With the widening speed gap between...

Compiler Support for Dynamic Speculative Pre-Execution
Speculative pre-execution is a promising prefetching technique which uses an auxiliary assisting thread in addition to the main program flow. A prefetching thread (p-thread), whic...

A low power front-end for embedded processors using a block-aware instruction set
Energy, power, and area efficiency are critical design concerns for embedded processors. Much of the energy of a typical embedded processor is consumed in the front-end since inst...
