Java bytecodes can be executed with the following three methods: a Java interpretor running on a particular machine interprets bytecodes; a Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler translates ...
In this paper, we propose a low-power approach to the design of embedded very long instruction word (VLIW) processor architectures based on the forwarding (or bypassing) hardware, ...
Profile data is valuable for identifying performance bottlenecks and guiding optimizations. Periodic sampling of a processor's performance monitoring hardware is an effective...

Increased integration in the form of multiple processor cores on a single die, relatively constant die sizes, shrinking power envelopes, and emerging applications create a new cha...

The performance tradeoff between hardware complexity and clock speed is studied. First, a generic superscalar pipeline is defined. Then the specific areas of register renaming, ...
