Title: Innovations of Xiaoying Shen
Introduction
Xiaoying Shen is a prominent inventor based in Austin, TX (US). She has made significant contributions to the field of microprocessor design, holding a total of 5 patents. Her work focuses on optimizing performance and efficiency in computing systems.
Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Micro-benchmark analysis optimization for microprocessor designs." This invention includes systems and methods for optimizing micro-benchmark analysis, aiming to generate a suite of micro-benchmarks and associated weighting factors. These factors can effectively define a weighted aggregate workload condition for fine-grained simulations, serving as a proxy for predicted commercial workload conditions. The suite of micro-benchmarks is designed to be more efficient to simulate than the actual commercial workload, providing benefits such as more efficient iterative design.
Another notable patent is "Dynamically enabled branch prediction." This invention involves a processor that selectively enables and disables branch prediction. The processor includes counters to track the number of fetched instructions, branches, and mispredicted branches. A misprediction threshold is calculated based on the tracked branches and a predefined misprediction ratio. Branch prediction is disabled when the number of mispredictions exceeds the determined threshold value, depending on the branch rate.
