      Ph.D Thesis:

     My Ph.D thesis is about the front end of Simultaneously Multithreaded (SMT) Processors. The objective is to improve the overall performance or instruction throughput through optimizing the front end unit. My researches focus on three parts of the unit, instruction fetch unit, level one cache and branch predictor. I have proposed an effective fetch policy, a simple cache compression scheme, and a value base branch predictor for the front end. Through combining all these techniques, the overall performance can be improved 55%. (PDF in Chinese)
