Tolerating Branch Predictor Latency on SMT
Abstract. Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) tolerates latency by executing instructions from multiple threads. If a thread is stalled, resources can be used by other threads. Howev...

Dynamic Hammock Predication for Non-Predicated Instruction Set Architectures
Conventional speculative architectures use branch prediction to evaluate the most likely execution path during program execution. However, certain branches are difficult to predic...

eXtended Block Cache
This paper describes a new instruction-supply mechanism, called the eXtended Block Cache (XBC). The goal of the XBC is to improve on the Trace Cache (TC) hit rate, while providing...

Using Multiple Memory Access Instructions for Reducing Code Size
An important issue in embedded systems design is the size of programs. As computing devices decrease in size, yet with more and more functions, better code size optimizations are i...
