Current superscalar microprocessors’ performance depends on its frequency and the number of useful instructions that can be processed per cycle (IPC). In this paper we propose a...
A slipstream processor reduces the length of a running program by dynamically skipping computation non-essential for correct forward progress. The shortened program runs faster as...

Functionality and performance of EPIC architectural features depend on extensive compiler support. Predication, one of these features, promises to reduce control flow overhead and...
