Performance-aware speculation control using wrong path usefulness prediction
Fetch gating mechanisms have been proposed to gate the processor pipeline to reduce the wasted energy consumption due to wrongpath (i.e. mis-speculated) instructions. These scheme...

ReSlice: Selective Re-Execution of Long-Retired Misspeculated Instructions Using Forward Slicing
As more data value speculation mechanisms are being proposed to speed-up processors, there is growing pressure on the critical processor structures that must buffer the state of t...

Confidence Estimation for Speculation Control
Modern processors improve instruction level parallelism by speculation. The outcome of data and control decisions is predicted, and the operations are speculatively executed and o...
