Off-chip memory accesses are a major source of power consumption in embedded processors. In order to reduce the amount of traffic between the processor and the off-chip memory as ...
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...
