Cascaded Execution: Speeding Up Unparallelized Execution on Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
Both inherently sequential code and limitations of analysis techniques prevent full parallelization of many applications by parallelizing compilers. Amdahl's Law tells us tha...

Compiler-Directed Dynamic Computation Reuse: Rationale and Initial Results
Recent studies on value locality reveal that many instructions are frequently executed with a small variety of inputs. This paper proposes an approach that integrates architecture...

Improving Branch Predictors by Correlating on Data Values
Branch predictors typically use combinations of branch PC bits and branch histories to make predictions. Recent improvements in branch predictors have come from reducing the effec...

Control Independence in Trace Processors
Branch mispredictions are a major obstacle to exploiting instruction-level parallelism, at least in part because all instructions after a mispredicted branch are squashed. However...
