On-chip caches represent a sizeable fraction of the total power consumption of microprocessors. Although large caches can significantly improve performance, they have the potentia...
Numerous cognitive studies have indicated that the form and complexity of route instructions may be as important to human navigators as the overall length of route. Most automated ...
Hybrid branch predictors combine the predictions of multiple single-level or two-level branch predictors. The prediction-combining hardware -- the "meta-predictor" -may ...

Abstract. Alias analysis, traditionally performed statically, is unsuited for a dynamic binary translator (DBT) due to incomplete control-flow information and the high complexity o...

—Thread-level parallelism (TLP) has been extensively studied in order to overcome the limitations of exploiting instruction-level parallelism (ILP) on high-performance superscala...
