Automatically characterizing large scale program behavior

by Timothy Sherwood, Erez Perelman, Greg Hamerly , 2002
"... Understanding program behavior is at the foundation of computer architecture and program optimization. Many pro-grams have wildly different behavior on even the very largest of scales (over the complete execution of the program). This realization has ramifications for many architectural and com-pile ..."
