Many processor architectures provide a set of addressing modes in their address generation units. For example DSPs (digital signal processors) have powerful addressing modes for e...
The execution order of a block of computer instructions on a pipelined machine can make a difference in running time by a factor of two or more. Compilers use heuristic schedulers...
—We evaluate three extensions to directory-based cache coherence protocols in shared-memory multiprocessors. These extensions are aimed at reducing the penalties associated with ...
Conventional speculative architectures use branch prediction to evaluate the most likely execution path during program execution. However, certain branches are difficult to predic...

Abstract. Compiler is substantially regarded as the most essential component in the software toolchain to promote a successful processor design. This paper describes our preliminar...
