Instruction Scheduling for Clustered VLIW DSPs
Recent digital signal processors (DSPs) show a homogeneous VLIW-like data path architecture, which allows C compilers to generate efficient code. However, still some special rest...

On Some Implementation Issues for Value Prediction on Wide-Issue ILP Processors
In this paper, we look at two issues which could affect the performance of value prediction on wide-issue ILP processors. One is the large number of accesses to the value predicti...

Neighborhood Prefetching on Multiprocessors Using Instruction History
A multiprocessor prefetch scheme is described in which a miss is followed by a prefetch of a group of lines, a neighborhood, surrounding the demand-fetched line. The neighborhood ...

Exploring Sub-Block Value Reuse for Superscalar Processors
The performance potential of a value reuse mechanism depends on its reuse detection time, the number of reuse opportunities, and the amount of work saved by skipping each reuse un...

Dynamic Branch Prediction for a VLIW Processor
This paper describes the design of a dynamic branchpredictorfor a VLIW processor. The developed branch predictor predicts the direction of a branch, i.e., taken or not taken, and ...
