This work would not have been possible without the cooperation of people from both Transmeta and AMD, who provided not only hardware but also detailed guidance in using it. Those people include Marc Fleischmann and Rowan Hamilton from Transmeta and Richard Russell, Dave Tobias, and Fred Weber from AMD. Also, we offer great thanks to the many users of our tracer whose traces yielded the workloads for this paper. Finally, we thank the anonymous reviewers of this paper and especially our shepherd, Deborah Wallach, for their many helpful comments and suggestions.
