• Cortex-A9 Branch prediction to speculative execution
    Hi, I am building a cycle accurate simulator for the Cortex-A9 core, and so far I constructed most of the stages of the pipeline. However I am having trouble placing something that is not clear in any...

  • The architecture definition of Speculatively executed
    Hi everyone, The Chapter Performance Monitors Extension in Arm ARM gives a definition "Speculatively executed", which says: An instruction or operation that is counted by an event when it MIGHT be...
  • Will cortex-a7's speculative access trigger abort?
    Hi, if coretex-a7 speculative accesses a virtual memory address which is not mapped to physical address, will it trigger a data abort as the normal instruction does? Thanks! Take below instructions...
