Effective Instruction Prefetching via Fetch Prestaging
As technological process shrinks and clock rate increases, instruction caches can no longer be accessed in one cycle. Alternatives are implementing smaller caches (with higher mis...

On Augmenting Trace Cache for High-Bandwidth Value Prediction
Value prediction is a technique that breaks true data dependences by predicting the outcome of an instruction and speculatively executes its data-dependent instructions based on th...

Optimizing Issue Queue Reliability to Soft Errors on Simultaneous Multithreaded Architectures
The issue queue (IQ) is a key microarchitecture structure for exploiting instruction-level and thread-level parallelism in dynamically scheduled simultaneous multithreaded (SMT) p...
