Techniques for Efficient Processing in Runahead Execution Engines
White Papers Runahead execution is a technique that improves processor performance by pre-executing the running application instead of stalling the processor when a long-latency cache miss occurs. However, the efficiency of runahead execution, which directly...

Address-Value Delta (AVD) Prediction: Increasing the Effectiveness of Runahead Execution by Exploiting Regular Memory Allocation Patterns
White Papers While runahead execution is effective at parallelizing independent long-latency cache misses, it is unable to parallelize dependent long-latency cache misses. If such a load instruction incurs a long-latency cache miss during runahead execution...
