Efficient Instruction Cache Simulation and Execution Profiling with a Threaded-Code Interpreter
We present an extension to an existing SPARC V8 instruction set simulator, SimICS, to support accurate profiling of branches and instruction cache misses. SimICS had previously su...

A low power front-end for embedded processors using a block-aware instruction set
Energy, power, and area efficiency are critical design concerns for embedded processors. Much of the energy of a typical embedded processor is consumed in the front-end since inst...
