Hardware prefetching is a latency-hiding technique that hides the costly off-chip DRAM
accesses. However, state-of-the-art prefetchers fail to deliver performance improvement in …

The high access latency of DRAM continues to be a performance challenge for
contemporary microprocessor systems. Prefetching is a well-established technique to …

The memory wall continues to limit the performance of modern out-of-order (OOO)
processors, despite the expensive provisioning of large multi-level caches and …

Hardware data prefetching is a latency hiding technique that mitigates the memory wall
problem by fetching data blocks into caches before the processor demands them. For high …

Value Prediction (VP) is a microarchitectural technique that speculatively breaks data
dependencies to increase the available Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) in general …

Computer architecture design space is vast and complex. Tools are needed to explore new
ideas and gain insights quickly, at low effort and desired accuracy. Cycle Accurate …

Stride prediction is a nonignorable part of value prediction. Most hybrid predictors cannot
eliminate this pattern. Existing stride predictors can handle the regular stride pattern, but it is …

Load instructions often limit instruction-level parallelism (ILP) in modern processors due to
data and resource dependences they cause. Prior techniques like Load Value Prediction …
