Eager Execution : An Optimal Form of Speculative Execution
نویسنده
چکیده
Three papers will be discussed in this section: Effective Compiler Support for Predicated Execution Using the Hyperblock, by Mahlke et al.; Disjoint Eager Execution: An Optimal Form of Speculative Execution, by Uht and Singdagi; and Selective Eager Execution on the Poly Path Architecture, by Klauser, Paithankar and Grunwald. These papers will close out the “processor front-end” section of the course. We will examine each of the papers in order.

Disjoint Eager Execution : An Optimal Form of Speculative
Instruction Level Parallelism (ILP) speedups of an order-of-magnitude or greater may be possible using the techniques described herein. Traditional speculative code execution is the execution of code down one path of a branch (branch prediction) or both paths of a branch (eager execution), before the condition of the branch has been evaluated, thereby executing code ahead of time, and improving...
متن کاملLevo - A Scalable Billion Transistor CPU
The Levo high ILP microarchitecture is described and evaluated. Levo employs instruction time-tags and active stations to ensure correct operation in a rampantly speculative and out-oforder resource flow execution model. The Tomasulo-algorithm-like broadcast buses are segmented; their lengths are constant, that is, do not increase with machine size. This helps to make Levo scalable. Known High-...

متن کاملIncorporatin g Speculative Execution into Scheduling of Control - flow Intensive Behavioral
Abs tract Speculative execution refers to the execution of parts of a computation before the execution of the conditional operations that decide whether it needs to be executed. It has been shown to be a promising technique for eliminating performance bottlenecks imposed by control flow in hardware and software implementations alike. In this paper, we present techniques to incorporate speculati...
متن کاملSupport for Software Assisted Speculative Execution
Computer architects strive to improve machine performance by exploiting parallelism, but control flow and data dependences limit available parallelism. Speculative execution enhances parallelism by selectively ignoring the constraints of control flow and data dependences, thereby executing instructions before it it known whether they are needed or correct. Software assisted speculative executio...
