Optimization of Instruction Fetch Mechanisms for High Issue Rates
Recent superscalar processors issue four instructions per cycle. These processors are also powered by highly-parallel superscalar cores. The potential performance can only be expl...

Fetch Gating Control Through Speculative Instruction Window Weighting
In a dynamic reordering superscalar processor, the front-end fetches instructions and places them in the issue queue. Instructions are then issued by the back-end execution core. T...

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...
