PALMED: Throughput Characterization for Superscalar Architectures

In a super-scalar architecture, the scheduler dynamically assigns micro-operations $( \mu$ OPs) to execution ports. The port mapping of an architecture describes how an instruction decomposes into $\mu$ OPs and lists for each $\mu$ OP the set of ports it can be mapped to. It is used by compilers and performance debugging tools to characterize the performance throughput of a sequence of instruction...
