  Abstract

To provide performance gains by reducing the operand referencing latency and data cache bandwidth requirements, we present an operand reference prediction cache (ORPC) which predicts operand value and address translation during the instruction fetch stage. The prediction is verified in the early stage, and thus it minimizes the performance penalty caused by the misprediction. Through the trace-driven simulation of six benchmark programs, the performance improvement by proposed three ORPC structures (ORPC1, ORPC2, ORPC3) is analysed and validated.
