Micro-op Cache Replacement Policy Optimizations
  • We investigate the limitations of state-of-the-art replacement policy and the uniqueness of micro-op cache.
  • We proposed and analyzed profile-guided, counter-based micro-op cache replacement policies.

Optimizing the performance of Google web services
  • We proposed a simulation and characterization infrastructure that enables studying web services’ micro-architecture behaviors using Google applications
  • We identify the main bottleneck as thread oversubscription and low prefetch bandwidth usage.
