The trace cache is a recently proposed solution to achieving high instruction fetch bandwidth by buffering and reusing dynamic instruction traces. This work presents a new block-b...
Performance evaluation of modern, highly speculative, out-of-order microprocessors and the corresponding production of detailed, valid, accurate results have become serious challe...
The PowerPC 620TM microprocessor1 is the most recent and performance leading member of the PowerPCTM family. The 64-bit PowerPC 620 microprocessor employs a two-phase branch predi...
Background: Proteins that evolve from a common ancestor can change functionality over time, and it is important to be able identify residues that cause this change. In this paper ...
