Simulation-based microarchitecture research is often hindered by the slow speed of simulators. In this work, we propose a novel statistical technique to identify highly representa...
Software dynamic translation (SDT) is a technology that permits the modification of an executing program’s instructions. In recent years, SDT has received increased attention, f...
