Tradeoffs in Buffering Memory State for Thread-Level Speculation in Multiprocessors
Thread-level speculation provides architectural support to aggressively run hard-to-analyze code in parallel. As speculative tasks run concurrently, they generate unsafe or specul...

Reducing Indirect Function call Overhead in C++ Programs
Modern computer architectures increasingly depend on mechanisms that estimate future control flow decisions to increase performance. Mechanisms such as speculative execution and p...

A Hardware-based Cache Pollution Filtering Mechanism for Aggressive Prefetches
Aggressive hardware-based and software-based prefetch algorithms for hiding memory access latencies were proposed to bridge the gap of the expanding speed disparity between proces...

DiskSeen: Exploiting Disk Layout and Access History to Enhance I/O Prefetch
Current disk prefetch policies in major operating systems track access patterns at the level of the file abstraction. While this is useful for exploiting application-level access...

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...
