Statistical simulation is driven by a stream of randomly generated instructions, based on statistics collected during a single detailed simulation. This method can give accurate p...
Fast instruction decoding is a challenge for the design of CISC microprocessors. A well-known solution to overcome this problem is using a trace cache. It stores and fetches alrea...
Real-world workloads rarely saturate multi-core processor. CPU C-states can be used to reduce power consumption during processor idle time. The key unsolved problem is: when and h...
—The ongoing move to chip multiprocessors (CMPs) permits greater sharing of last-level cache by processor cores but this sharing aggravates the cache contention problem, potentia...
