The HPCA Test of Time (ToT) award recognizes the most influential papers published in prior sessions of the International Symposium of High Performance Computer Architecture (HPCA) each of whom have had significant impact in the field.

Award Citation:
"Runahead Execution is a pioneering paper that opened up new avenues in dynamic prefetching. The basic idea of run ahead execution effectively increases the instruction window very significantly, without having to increase physical resource size (e.g. the issue queue). This seminal paper spawned off a new area of ILP-enhancing microarchitecture research. This work has had strong industry impact as evidenced by IBM's POWER6 - Load Lookahead, NVIDIA Denver, and Sun ROCK's hardware scouting."
