Instruction Level Parallelism through Microthreading - A Scalable Approach to Chip Multiprocessors
Most microprocessor chips today use an out-of-order instruction execution mechanism. This mechanism allows superscalar processors to extract reasonably high levels of instruction ...

Improving Branch Prediction and Predicated Execution in Out-of-Order Processors
If-conversion is a compiler technique that reduces the misprediction penalties caused by hard-to-predict branches, transforming control dependencies into data dependencies. Althou...

How to Enhance a Superscalar Processor to Provide Hard Real-Time Capable In-Order SMT
This paper describes how a superscalar in-order processor must be modified to support Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) such that time-predictability is preserved for hard real-ti...

Kilo-instruction processors, runahead and prefetching
There is a continuous research effort devoted to overcome the memory wall problem. Prefetching is one of the most frequently used techniques. A prefetch mechanism anticipates the ...

Instruction Cache Energy Saving Through Compiler Way-Placement
Fetching instructions from a set-associative cache in an embedded processor can consume a large amount of energy due to the tag checks performed. Recent proposals to address this ...
