    Santana Jaria, Oliverio J.; Ramírez Bellido, Alejandro; Valero Cortés, Mateo (2007-10)
    Article
    Accés obert
    The stream fetch engine is a high-performance fetch architecture based on the concept of an instruction stream. We call a sequence of instructions from the target of a taken branch to the next taken branch, potentially ...

  • FAME: FAirly MEasuring multithreaded architectures

    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés obert
    Nowadays, multithreaded architectures are becoming more and more popular. In order to evaluate their behavior, several methodologies and metrics have been proposed. A methodology defines when the measurements of a given ...

  • Fetching instruction streams 

    Ramírez Bellido, Alejandro; Santana Jaria, Oliverio J.; Larriba Pey, Josep; Valero Cortés, Mateo (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2002)
    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés obert
    Fetch performance is a very important factor because it effectively limits the overall processor performance. However there is little performance advantage in increasing front-end performance beyond what the back-end can ...

  • Introducing runahead threads 

    Ramírez García, Tanausu; Pajuelo González, Manuel Alejandro; Santana Jaria, Oliverio J.; Valero Cortés, Mateo (2007-07)
    Report de recerca
    Accés obert
    Simultaneous Multithreading processors share their resources among multiple threads in order to improve performance. However, a resource control policy is needed to avoid resource conflicts and prevent some threads from ...

  • Kilo-instruction processors: overcoming the memory wall 

    Cristal Kestelman, Adrián; Santana Jaria, Oliverio J.; Cazorla, Francisco; Galluzzi, Marco; Ramirez Garcia, Tanausú; Pericas, Miquel; Valero Cortés, Mateo (2005-05)
    Article
    Accés obert
    Historically, advances in integrated circuit technology have driven improvements in processor microarchitecture and led to todays microprocessors with sophisticated pipelines operating at very high clock frequencies. ...

  • Latency tolerant branch predictors 

    Santana Jaria, Oliverio J.; Ramírez Bellido, Alejandro; Valero Cortés, Mateo (IEEE Press, 2003)
    Text en actes de congrés
    Accés obert
    The access latency of branch predictors is a well known problem of fetch engine design. Prediction overriding techniques are commonly accepted to overcome this problem. However, prediction overriding requires a complex ...

  • Maximizing multithreaded multicore architectures through thread migrations 

    Acosta Ojeda, Carmelo Alexis; Cazorla Almeida, Francisco Javier; Santana Jaria, Oliverio J.; Falcón Samper, Ayose Jesús; Ramírez Bellido, Alejandro; Valero Cortés, Mateo (2009)
    Report de recerca
    Accés obert
    Heterogeneity in general-purpose workloads often end up in non optimal per-thread hardware resource usage. The current trend towards multicore architectures, containing several multithreaded cores, increases the need of a ...

  • Predicting multiple streams per cycle 

    Santana Jaria, Oliverio J.; Ramírez Bellido, Alejandro; Valero Cortés, Mateo (2005)
    Report de recerca
    Accés obert
