Abstract. Existing variable-length instruction formats provide higher code densities than fixed-length formats, but are ill-suited to pipelined or parallel instruction fetch and de...

Mispredicted branches and loads that miss in the cache cause the majority of retirement stalls experienced by sequential processors; we call these critical instructions. Despite t...

In this paper, we present a novel mechanism that implements register renaming, dynamic speculation and precise interrupts. Renaming of registers is performed during the instructio...
