Instruction Recycling on a Multiple-Path Processor
Processors that can simultaneously execute multiple paths of execution will only exacerbate the fetch bandwidth problem already plaguing conventional processors. On a multiple-pat...

Instruction fetch deferral using static slack
In this paper we present an approach to boosting performance and tolerating latency by deferring non-critical instructions into a deferred queue for later processing. As such, ins...

Branch predictor guided instruction decoding
Fast instruction decoding is a challenge for the design of CISC microprocessors. A well-known solution to overcome this problem is using a trace cache. It stores and fetches alrea...

Algorithms and Hardware Structures for Unobtrusive Real-Time Compression of Instruction and Data Address Traces
Instruction and data address traces are widely used by computer designers for quantitative evaluations of new architectures and workload characterization, as well as by software de...

Pipeline Timing Analysis Using a Trace-Driven Simulator
In this paper we present a technique for Worst-Case Execution Time WCET analysis for pipelined processors. Our technique uses a standard simulator instead of special-purpose pipel...
