Abstract: Today?s high-performance processors face main-memory latencies on the order of hundreds of processor clock cycles. As a result, even the most aggressive processors spend a significant portion of their execution time stalling and waiting for main-memory accesses to return data to the execution core. Previous research has shown that runahead execution significantly increases a high-performance processor?s ability to tolerate long main-memory latencies. 1, 2 Runahead execution improves a processor?s performance by speculatively preexecuting the application program while the processor services a long-latency (L2) data cache miss, instead of stalling the processor for
