Abstract

This paper describes a practical technique for the optimal scheduling of control dominated systems minimizing the weighted average latency over all control branches. Such a weighted metric is crucial for control dependent scheduling to accommodate practical architectural goals. In contrast to most weighting mechanisms, a nonBayesian probabilistic measure is used to avoid assumptions of branch independence. The underlying scheduling model allows general FSM-based models for operations, captures several forms of speculative execution and scales well with increasing control complexity.
