Instruction level parallelism (ILP) improves performance for VLIW, EPIC, and Superscalar processors. Out-of-order execution improves performance further. The advantage of out-of-order execution is not fully utilized due to in-order completion. In this report we study the performance loss due to in-order completion for MIPS R10000 processor.

Specification-driven validation of programmable embedded systems
TLDR
This thesis presents a top-down validation methodology that complements the existing bottom-up approaches and leverages the system architect's knowledge about the behavior of the design through architecture specification and developed validation techniques to ensure that the static and dynamic behaviors of the specified architecture is well formed.
Side channel attack resistant elliptic curves cryptosystem on multi-cores for power efficiency
TLDR
A multiplier adjuster technique is presented to improve the execution time and the power consumption for the last unbalanced iteration of Elliptic Curves Cryptography (ECC) by appropriately applying dummy instructions between point-addition and point-doubling operations.
Functional abstraction driven design space exploration of heterogeneous programmable architectures
TLDR
The DSE results demonstrate the power of reuse in composing heterogeneous architectures using functional abstraction primitives allowing for a reduction in the time for specification and exploration by at least an order of magnitude.

Available instruction-level parallelism for superscalar and superpipelined machines
TLDR
A parameterizable code reorganization and simulation system was developed and used to measure instruction-level parallelism and the average degree of superpipelining metric is introduced, suggesting that this metric is already high for many machines.

Branch Prediction, Instruction-Window Size, and Cache Size: Performance Trade-Offs and Simulation Techniques
TLDR
This paper provides a comprehensive set of SimpleScalar simulation results from SPECint95 programs, showing the interactions among instruction-window size, branch-prediction accuracy, and instruction- and data-cache size and major mechanisms driving the observed trade-offs are described.
V-SAT: a visual specification and analysis tool for system-on-chip exploration
TLDR
It is believed that V-SAT provides a powerful environment, both for early design space exploration, as well as for the detailed design of SOC architectures.
EXPRESSION: a language for architecture exploration through compiler/simulator retargetability
TLDR
EXPRESSION is described, a language supporting architectural design space exploration for embedded systems-on-chip (SOC) and automatic generation of a retargetable compiler/simulator toolkit and its efficacy in supporting exploration and automatic software toolkit generation for an embedded SOC codesign flow is demonstrated.
