In modern applications, instruction cache misses have become a performance constraint,
and numerous prefetchers have been developed to conceal memory latency. With today's …

Modern data center applications exhibit deep software stacks, resulting in large instruction
footprints that frequently cause instruction cache misses degrading performance, cost, and …

Instruction prefetching can play a pivotal role in improving the performance of workloads
with large instruction footprints and frequent, costly frontend stalls. In particular, Fetch …

Prefetching instructions in the instruction cache is a fundamental technique for designing
high-performance computers. There are three key properties to consider when designing an …

Instruction prefetching can play a pivotal role in improving the performance of workloads
with large instruction footprints and frequent, costly frontend stalls. In particular, Fetch …

Datacenter applications exhibit large instruction footprints causing significant instruction
cache misses and, as a result, frontend stalls. To address this issue, instruction prefetching …

The processor front-end has become an increasingly important bottleneck in recent years
due to growing application code footprints, particularly in data centers. First-level instruction …

Over the years, processor throughput has steadily increased. However, the memory
throughput has not increased at the same rate, which has led to the memory wall problem in …

Datacenter applications are well-known for their large code footprints. This has caused
frontend design to evolve by implementing decoupled fetching and large prediction …

Microarchitecture research relies on performance models with various degrees of accuracy
and speed. In the past few years, one such model, ChampSim, has started to gain significant …
