Abstract

Abstract: This paper presents an analytical model of instruction fetch performance of a Trace Cache. This paper also presents an analytical model of miss rate of a Trace Cache. These models can be used to analyze performance and behavior of a Microarchitecture of a processor. These models are implemented in a new Microarchitecture tool Tulip. Performances of several benchmark programs based on Tulip are also presented in this paper.
