In high-performance processors, increasing the number of instructions fetched and executed in parallel is becoming increasingly complex, and the peak bandwidth is often underutilized due to control and data dependences. A trace processor 1) efficiently sequences through programs in large units, called traces, and allocates trace-sized units of work to distributed processing elements (PEs), and 2) uses aggressive speculation to par-tially alleviate the effects of control and data dependences. A trace is a dynamic sequence of instructions, typically 16 to 32 instructions in length, which embeds any number of taken or not-taken branch instructions. The hierarchical, trace-based approach to increas-ing parallelism overcomes basic inefficiencies...
