Fetch Directed Instruction Prefetching
Instruction supply is a crucial component of processor performance. Instruction prefetching has been proposed as a mechanism to help reduce instruction cache misses, which in turn...

Parallelism in the Front-End
As processor back-ends get more aggressive, front-ends will have to scale as well. Although the back-ends of superscalar processors have continued to become more parallel, the fro...
