Trace Cache: A Low Latency Approach to High Bandwidth Instruction Fetching
As the issue widthof superscalar processors is increased, instructionfetch bandwidthrequirements will also increase. It will become necessary to fetch multiple basic blocks per cy...

Trace preconstruction
Trace caches enable high bandwidth, low latency instruction supply, but have a high miss penalty and relatively large working sets. Consequently, their performance may suffer due ...

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...

Instruction fetch deferral using static slack
In this paper we present an approach to boosting performance and tolerating latency by deferring non-critical instructions into a deferred queue for later processing. As such, ins...

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...
