Accurately approximating superscalar processor performance from traces
Trace-driven simulation of superscalar processors is particularly complicated. The dynamic nature of superscalar processors combined with the static nature of traces can lead to l...

Reuse-distance-based miss-rate prediction on a per instruction basis
Feedback-directed optimization has become an increasingly important tool in designing and building optimizing compilers. Recently, reuse-distance analysis has shown much promise i...
