On Some Implementation Issues for Value Prediction on Wide-Issue ILP Processors
In this paper, we look at two issues which could affect the performance of value prediction on wide-issue ILP processors. One is the large number of accesses to the value predicti...

Circuits for wide-window superscalar processors
Our program benchmarks and simulations of novel circuits indicate that large-window processors are feasible. Using our redesigned superscalar components, a large-window processor ...

The Effect of Program Optimization on Trace Cache Efficiency
Trace cache, an instruction fetch technique that reduces taken branch penalties by storing and fetching program instructions in dynamic execution order, dramatically improves inst...

Improving trace cache hit rates using the sliding window fill mechanism and fill select table
As superscalar processors become increasingly wide, it is inevitable that the large set of instructions to be fetched every cycle will span multiple noncontiguous basic blocks. Th...
