In this paper, we look at two issues which could affect the performance of value prediction on wide-issue ILP processors. One is the large number of accesses to the value predicti...
Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-the-shelf processors become cheaper and faster, ...
Load-reuse analysis finds instructions that repeatedly access the same memory location. This location can be promoted to a register, eliminating redundant loads by reusing the re...
In general topology networks, routing from one node to another over a tree embedded in the network is intuitively a good strategy, since it typically results in a route length of O...
The recent trend towards dynamically extensible systems, such as Java, SPIN or VINO, promises more powerful and flexible systems. At the same time, the impact of extensibility on...
