Recent research on processor microarchitecture suggests using instruction criticality as a metric to guide hardware control policies. Fields et al. [3, 4] have proposed a directed...
We demonstrate new techniques to speed up the Rijndael (AES) block cipher using vector permute instructions. Because these techniques avoid data- and key-dependent branches and mem...
To satisfy high-performance computing demand in modern embedded devices, current embedded processor architectures provide designer with possibility either to define customized ins...

In the past decade. there has been much literature describing various cache organizatrons that exploit general programming idiosyncrasies to obtain maxrmum hit rate (the probabili...
