Program-Context-Based Prediction

Program Counters (PCs) provide a convenient means of capturing the context of program execution. While PC-based techniques have been used for performance optimizations at the architectural level, PC-based prediction for resource management in operating systems has not been fully explored. We continue to investigate potential applications of PC-based predictions in resource management in operating systems.
