Putting the Fill Unit to Work: Dynamic Optimizations for Trace Cache Microprocessors
The fill unit is the structure which collects blocks of instructions and combines them into multi-block segments for storage in a trace cache. In this paper, we expand the role of...

Improving Prediction for Procedure Returns with Return-address-stack Repair Mechanisms
This paper evaluates several mechanisms for repairing the return-address stack after branch mispredictions. The return-address stack is a small but important structure for achievi...
