Existing file access predictors keep track of previous file access patterns and rely on a single heuristic to predict which of the previous successors to the file being currently ...
An algorithm is proposed for the purpose of optimizing the availability of files to an operating system prior to their being required during execution by a running system. This al...
Branch predictors typically use combinations of branch PC bits and branch histories to make predictions. Recent improvements in branch predictors have come from reducing the effec...
Abstract. Memory access latency can limit microcontroller system performance. SDRAM access control policies impact latency through SDRAM device state. It is shown that execution ti...
This paper explores the role of branch predictor organization in power/energy/performance tradeoffs for processor design. We find that as a general rule, to reduce overall energy ...
