Branch-Directed and Pointer-Based Data Cache Prefetching
Branch-directed and Pointer-based Data Cache Prefetching Yue Liu Mona Dimitri David R. Kaeli Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Northeastern University Boston, MA Abstract The design of the on-chip cache memory and branch prediction logic has become an integral part of a microprocessor implementation. Branch predictors reduce the effects of control hazards on pipeline performance. Branch prediction implementations have been proposed which eliminate a majority of the pipeline stalls associated with branches. Caches are commonly used to reduce the performance gap between microprocessor and memory technology. Caches can only provide this benefit if the requested address is in the cache when requested. To increase the probability that addresses are present when requested, prefetching can be employed. Prefetching attempts to prime the cache with instructions and data which will be accessed in the near future. The work presented here describes two new prefetching algorithms. The first ties data cache prefetching to branches in the instruction stream. History of the data stream is incorporated into a Branch Target Buffer (BTB). Since branch behavior determines program control flow, data access patterns are also dependent upon this behavior. Results indicate that combining this strategy with tagged prefetching can significantly improve cache hit ratios. While improving cache hit rates is important, the resulting memory bus traffic introduced can be an issue. Our prefetching technique can also significantly reduce the overall memory bus traffic. The second prefetching scheme dynamically identifies pointer-based data references in the data stream, and records these references in order to successfully prime the cache with the next element in the linked data structure in advance of its access. -

Non-Sequential Instruction Cache Prefetching for Multiple--Issue Processors
Non-Sequential Instruction Cache Prefetching for Multiple--Issue Processors Alexander V. Veidenbaum Qingbo Zhao Abduhl Shameer Dept. of Information and DSET Inc. Microsoft Inc. Computer Science University of California Irvine 1 [email protected] Abstract This paper presents a novel instruction cache prefetching mechanism for multiple-issue processors. Such processors at high clock rates often have to use a small instruction cache which can have significant miss rates. Prefetching from secondary cache or even memory can hide the instruction cache miss penalties, but only if initiated sufficiently far ahead of the current program counter. Existing instruction cache prefetching methods are strictly sequential and do not prefetch past conditional branches which may occur almost every clock cycle in wide-issue processors. In this study, multi-level branch prediction is used to overcome this limitation. By keeping branch history and target addresses, two methods are defined to predict a future PC several branches past the current branch. A prefetching architecture using such a mechanism is defined and evaluated with respect to its accuracy, the impact of the instruction prefetching on performance, and its interaction with sequential prefetching. Both PC-based and history- based predictors are used to perform a single-lookup prediction. Targeting an on-chip L2 cache with low latency, prediction for 3 branch levels is evaluated for a 4-issue processor and cache architecture patterned after the DEC Alpha-21164. It is shown that history-based predictor is more accurate, but both predictors are effective. The prefetching unit using them can be effective and succeeds when the sequential prefetcher fails. -

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements. -
