The fill unit is the structure which collects blocks of instructions and combines them into multi-block segments for storage in a trace cache. In this paper, we expand the role of...
Path profiles record the frequencies of execution paths through a program. Until now, the best global instruction schedulers have relied upon profile-gathered frequencies of condi...
The key to real-time rendering of large-scale surfaces is to locally adapt surface geometric complexity to changing view parameters. Several schemes have been developed to address...
As the gap between memory and processor speeds continues to widen, cache efficiency is an increasingly important component of processor performance. Compiler techniques have been...

In this paper we consider the distributed simulation of queueing networks of FCFS servers with infinite buffers, and irreducible Markovian routing. We first show that for either t...
