Enhancing instruction-level parallelism through compiler-controlled speculation

The available instruction level parallelism (ILP) is extremely limited within basic blocks of non-numeric programs (1) (2) (3). An effective VLIW or superscalar processor must optimize and schedule instructions across basic block boundaries to achieve higher performance. An effective structure for ILP compilation is the superblock (4). The formation and optimization of superblocks increase ILP available to the scheduler along important execution paths by systematically removing constraints due to the unimportant paths. Superblock scheduling is then applied to extract the available ILP and map it to the processor resources.
