High power consumption and low energy efficiency have become significant impediments to future performance improvements in modern microprocessors. This paper contributes to the so...
Code placement techniques have traditionally improved instruction fetch bandwidth by increasing instruction locality and decreasing the number of taken branches. However, traditio...
Most programs are repetitive, meaning that some parts of a program are executed more than once. As a result, a number of phases can be extracted in which each phase exhibits simila...
