Register file access time represents one of the critical delays of current microprocessors, and it is expected to become more critical as future processors increase the instructio...
Previous research on runahead execution took it for granted as a prefetch-only technique. Even though the results of instructions independent of an L2 miss are correctly computed d...

In this paper we investigate the behavior of data prefetching on an access decoupled machine and a superscalar machine. We assess if there are bene ts to using the decoupling para...
While trace cache, value prediction, and prefetching have been shown to be effective in the single-threaded superscalar, there has been no analysis of these techniques in a Simulta...
Software prefetching, typically in the context of numericor loop-intensive benchmarks, has been proposed as one remedy for the performance bottleneck imposed on computer systems b...
