—This paper presents a design space exploration of a selective load value prediction scheme suitable for energyaware Simultaneous Multi-Threaded (SMT) architectures. A load value...
This paper proposes the use of formal feedback control theory as a way to implement adaptive techniques in the processor architecture. Dynamic thermal management (DTM) is used as ...

Configurations of contemporary DRAM memory systems become increasingly complex. A recent study [5] shows that application performance is highly sensitive to choices of configura...
Memory dependence prediction allows out-of-order issue processors to achieve high degrees of instruction level parallelism by issuing load instructions at the earliest time withou...
