Control Independence in Trace Processors
Branch mispredictions are a major obstacle to exploiting instruction-level parallelism, at least in part because all instructions after a mispredicted branch are squashed. However...

PipeRench implementation of the instruction path coprocessor
This paper demonstrates how an Instruction Path Coprocessor (I-COP) can be efficiently implemented using the PipeRench reconfigurable architecture. An I-COP is a programmable on-c...
