Understanding the backward slices of performance degrading instructions
For many applications, branch mispredictions and cache misses limit a processor’s performance to a level well below its peak instruction throughput. A small fraction of static i...

Improving Performance of Small On-Chip Instruction Caches
Most current single-chip processors employ an on-chip instruction cache to improve performance. A miss in this insk-uction cache will cause an external memory reference which must...
