Instruction trace compression for rapid instruction cache simulation
Modern Application Specific Instruction Set Processors (ASIPs) have customizable caches, where the size, associativity and line size can all be customized to suit a particular ap...

N-Tuple Compression: A Novel Method for Compression of Branch Instruction Traces
Branch predictors and processor front-ends have been the focus of a number of computer architecture studies. Typically they are evaluated separately from other components using tr...

Heads and tails: a variable-length instruction format supporting parallel fetch and decode
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...

Dynamic zero compression for cache energy reduction
Dynamic Zero Compression reduces the energy required for cache accesses by only writing and reading a single bit for every zero-valued byte. This energy-conscious compression is i...

The Effect of Program Optimization on Trace Cache Efficiency
Trace cache, an instruction fetch technique that reduces taken branch penalties by storing and fetching program instructions in dynamic execution order, dramatically improves inst...
