Modeled and Measured Instruction Fetching Performance for Superscalar Microprocessors
—Instruction fetching is critical to the performance of a superscalar microprocessor. We develop a mathematical model for three different cache techniques and evaluate its perfor...

Instruction-Level Microprocessor Modeling of Scientific Applications
Superscalar microprocessor efficiency is generally not as high as anticipated. In fact, sustained utilization below thirty percent of peak is not uncommon, even for fully optimized...

Exploiting Choice: Instruction Fetch and Issue on an Implementable Simultaneous Multithreading Processor
Simultaneous multithreading is a technique that permits multiple independent threads to issue multiple instructions each cycle. In previous work we demonstrated the performance po...

Branch predictor guided instruction decoding
Fast instruction decoding is a challenge for the design of CISC microprocessors. A well-known solution to overcome this problem is using a trace cache. It stores and fetches alrea...
