Automated Power Gating of Registers Using CoDeL and FSM Branch Prediction
In this paper, we use the CoDeL hardware design platform to analyze the potential and performance impact of power gating individual registers. For each register, we examine the per...

Optimizing indirect branch prediction accuracy in virtual machine interpreters
Interpreters designed for efficiency execute a huge number of indirect branches and can spend more than half of the execution time in indirect branch mispredictions. Branch target...
