A path-based technique for estimating hardware runtime in HW/SW-cosynthesis
One of the key issues in hardware/software{cosynthesis is precise estimation. The usual local estimation techniques are inadequate for globally optimising compilers and synthesis ...

Architectural Support for Compiler-Synthesized Dynamic Branch Prediction Strategies: Rationale and Initial Results
This paper introduces a new architectural approach that supports compiler-synthesized dynamic branch predication. In compiler-synthesized dynamic branch prediction, the compiler g...
