Embedded processors like Intel’s XScale use dynamic branch prediction to improve performance. Due to the presence of context switches, the accuracy of these predictors is reduce...
This paper presents a detailed branch characterization of an Oracle based commercial on-line transaction processing workload, Oracle Database Benchmark (ODB), running on an IA32 p...
This paper describes an experiment which aims to reveal the potential impact on performance yielded by augmenting a TriMedia-CPU64 processor with a multiple-context FPGA core. We ...
