Instruction delivery is a critical component for wide-issue processors since its bandwidth and accuracy place an upper limit on performance. The processor front-end accuracy and ba...
Instruction fetch behavior has been shown to be very regular and predictable, even for diverse application areas. In this work, we propose the Lookahead Instruction Fetch Engine (...

Hybrid processors are HW/SW co-designed processors that leverage blocked-execution, the execution of regions of instructions as atomic blocks, to facilitate aggressive speculative...
