—This paper explores the use of compiler optimizations which optimize the layout of instructions in memory. The target is to enable the code to make better use of the underlying ...
The core of current-generation high-performance multiprocessor systems is out-of-order execution processors with aggressive branch prediction. Despite their relatively high branch...

Mispredicted branches and loads that miss in the cache cause the majority of retirement stalls experienced by sequential processors; we call these critical instructions. Despite t...
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...
Dynamic Optimization is an umbrella term that refers to any optimization of software that is performed after the initial compile time. It is a complementary optimization opportuni...
