    Abstract: Technologies for optimized binary translation include a computing device that determines a cost-benefit metric associated with each translated code block of a translation cache. The cost-benefit metric is indicative of translation cost and performance benefit associated with the translated code block. The translation cost may be determined by measuring translation time of the translated code block. The cost-benefit metric may be calculated using a weighted cost-benefit function based on an expected workload of the computing device. In response to determining to free space in the translation cache, the computing device determines whether to discard each translated code block as a function of the cost-benefit metric. In response to determining to free space in the translation cache, the computing device may increment an iteration count and skip each translated code block if the iteration count modulo the corresponding cost-benefit metric is non-zero. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: A vector reduction instruction is executed by a processor to provide efficient reduction operations on an array of data elements. The processor includes vector registers. Each vector register is divided into a plurality of lanes, and each lane stores the same number of data elements. The processor also includes execution circuitry that receives the vector reduction instruction to reduce the array of data elements stored in a source operand into a result in a destination operand using a reduction operator. Each of the source operand and the destination operand is one of the vector registers. Responsive to the vector reduction instruction, the execution circuitry applies the reduction operator to two of the data elements in each lane, and shifts one or more remaining data elements when there is at least one of the data elements remaining in each lane.
