Floating Point to Fixed Point Conversion of C Code
In processors that do not support floating-point instructions, using fixed-point arithmetic instead of floating-point emulation trades off computation accuracy for execution spe...

Balance Scheduling: Weighting Branch Tradeoffs in Superblocks
Since there is generally insufficient instruction level parallelism within a single basic block, higher performance is achieved by speculatively scheduling operations in superbloc...

Code Transformations to Improve Memory Parallelism
Current microprocessors incorporate techniques to exploit instruction-level parallelism (ILP). However, previous work has shown that these ILP techniques are less effective in rem...

Effective Exploitation of a Zero Overhead Loop Buffer
A Zero Overhead Loop Buffer (ZOLB) is an architectural feature that is commonly found in DSP processors. This buffer can be viewed as a compiler managed cache that contains a sequ...

Dynamic History-length Fitting: A Third Level of Adaptivity for Branch Prediction
Accurate branch prediction is essential for obtaining high performance in pipelined superscalar processors that execute instructions speculatively. Some of the best current predic...
