}Microprocessor designers such as Intel and AMD implement old instruction sets at their modern processors to ensure backward compatibility with legacy code. In addition to old backward compatibility instructions, new extensions are constantly introduced to add functionalities. In this way, the size of the IA-32 ISA is growing at a fast pace, reaching almost 1300 different instructions in 2013 with the introduction of AVX2 and FMA3 by Haswell. Increasing the size of the ISA impacts both hardware…
