In a Simultaneous Multithreaded (SMT) architecture, the front end of a superscalar is adapted in order to be able to fetch from several threads while the back end is shared among ...

This paper describes the design of a dynamic branchpredictorfor a VLIW processor. The developed branch predictor predicts the direction of a branch, i.e., taken or not taken, and ...
Despite years of study, branch mispredictions remain as a significant performance impediment in pipelined superscalar processors. In general, the branch misprediction penalty can...
Memory dependence prediction allows out-of-order issue processors to achieve high degrees of instruction level parallelism by issuing load instructions at the earliest time withou...
While general-purpose homogeneous multi-core architectures are becoming ubiquitous, there are clear indications that, for a number of important applications, a better performance/p...
