Linux Sparc V9 code optimazation
To any Sparc guru, This question relates to the effect of instruction alignment on a Sparc's Prefetch/Dispatch unit. Just how exactly does the branch prediction bits for instruction pairs in the I-Cache utilized. I'm trying to figure out the consequences of an odd word fetch into an Instruction cache line with a the fourth instruction being another branch.
