Many dynamic optimization and/or binary translation systems hold optimized/translated superblocks in a code cache. Conventional code caching systems suffer from overheads when con...
In this paper, we propose a hardware performance monitor that provides support not only for measuring cache misses and the addresses associated with them, but also for determining...
—During post-silicon processor debugging, we need to frequently capture and dump out the internal state of the processor. Since internal state constitutes all memory elements, th...

—Performance degradation of memory-intensive programs caused by the LRU policy’s inability to handle weaklocality data accesses in the last level cache is increasingly serious ...
Dynamic binary translation systems enable a wide range of applications such as program instrumentation, optimization, and security. DBTs use a software code cache to store previou...
