Ginger: control independence using tag rewriting
The negative performance impact of branch mis-predictions can be reduced by exploiting control independence (CI). When a branch mis-predicts, the wrong-path instructions up to the...

Speculative Data-Driven Multithreading
Mispredicted branches and loads that miss in the cache cause the majority of retirement stalls experienced by sequential processors; we call these critical instructions. Despite t...

An Efficient Hardware Support for Control Data Validation
Software-based, fine-grain control flow integrity (CFI) validation technique has been proposed to enforce control flow integrity of program execution. By validating every indirect...

Address-Indexed Memory Disambiguation and Store-to-Load Forwarding
This paper describes a scalable, low-complexity alternative to the conventional load/store queue (LSQ) for superscalar processors that execute load and store instructions speculat...

Dynamic overlay of scratchpad memory for energy minimization
The memory subsystem accounts for a significant portion of the aggregate energy budget of contemporary embedded systems. Moreover, there exists a large potential for optimizing th...
