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...
— L1 data caches in high-performance processors continue to grow in set associativity. Higher associativity can significantly increase the cache energy consumption. Cache access...

Untolerated load instruction latencies often have a significant impact on overall program performance. As one means of mitigating this effect, we present an aggressive hardware-b...
Multimedia applications in general and video processing, such as the MPEG4 Visual stream decoders, in particular are increasingly popular and important workloads for future embedd...
For many programs, especially integer codes, untolerated load instruction latencies account for a significant portion of total execution time. In this paper, we present the desig...
