Abstract. Instruction hints have become an important way to communicate compile-time information to the hardware. They can be generated by the compiler and the post-link optimizer ...
The majority of currently available branch predictors base their prediction accuracy on the previous k branch outcomes. Such predictors sustain high prediction accuracy but they do...

This paper describes a new on-demand wakeup prediction policy for instruction cache leakage control that achieves better leakage savings than prior policies, and avoids the perform...
Abstract. Bypass delays are expected to grow beyond 1ns as technology scales. These delays necessitate pipelining of bypass paths at processor frequencies above 1GHz and thus affe...
In this paper, we discuss the architecture of a modular UNIX-compatible operating system, MINIX 3, that provides reliability beyond that of most other systems. With nearly the ent...
