Profile-assisted Compiler Support for Dynamic Predication in Diverge-Merge Processors
Dynamic predication has been proposed to reduce the branch misprediction penalty due to hard-to-predict branch instructions. A recently proposed dynamic predication architecture, ...

Understanding the backward slices of performance degrading instructions
For many applications, branch mispredictions and cache misses limit a processor’s performance to a level well below its peak instruction throughput. A small fraction of static i...

Characterizing and predicting value degree of use
A value’s degree of use—the number of dynamic uses of that value—provides the most essential information needed to optimize its communication. We present simulation results ...

The STAR automaton: expediency and optimality properties
Abstract--We present the STack ARchitecture (STAR) automaton. It is a fixed structure, multiaction, reward-penalty learning automaton, characterized by a star-shaped state transiti...
