High performance processors use checkpointing to rapidly recover from branch mispredictions and possibly other exceptions. We demonstrate that conventional checkpointing becomes u...
We introduce Branch Predictor Prediction (BPP) as a power-aware branch prediction technique for high performance processors. Our predictor reduces branch prediction power dissipat...
Abstract. The perceptron predictor is a highly accurate branch predictor. Unfortunately this high accuracy comes with high complexity. The high complexity is the result of the larg...
We present a feasibility study of a power-reduction scheme that reduces the thermal power of processors by lowering frequency and voltage in the context of high-performance comput...
With the constant advances in technology that lead to the increasing of the transistor count and processor frequency, power dissipation is becoming one of the major issues in high...
