Value prediction is a technique that breaks true data dependences by predicting the outcome of an instruction and speculatively executes its data-dependent instructions based on th...
Performance evaluation of modern, highly speculative, out-of-order microprocessors and the corresponding production of detailed, valid, accurate results have become serious challe...
Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) attempts to keep a dynamically scheduled processor's resources busy with work from multiple independent threads. Threads with longlatency st...

In this paper we present an approach to boosting performance and tolerating latency by deferring non-critical instructions into a deferred queue for later processing. As such, ins...
