fp mul test
A while loop which takes two doubles and multiplies them. Within the loop, we take two doubles, so we are multiplying the same numbers again and again. This should avoid overflow.

fp div test
A while loop which takes two doubles and divides them. The lower peak temperature w.r.t. fp mul test is due to lack of pipelining in the fp div FU.

Linked-list Cache Miss Test
For a linked-list test, every cache miss depends on the previous cache miss. Thus, there is limited runahead.
cache miss with nops
We create a large linked-list and traverse through it (while loop) in an essentially pointer chasing manner. While the miss is being serviced, the machine executes nops (added in the assembly code before the end of each loop). We increase the number of nops in the loop to decrease the cache miss rate (more nops in loop implies more time between requests to memory for data). Thus, lower the cache miss rate, higher the number of nops executed per loop and thus, lower the peak temperature.

cache miss with ops
Same as above except we now have some fp operations in each loop instead of nops. Thus, while a miss is being serviced, the system has work to do.
We increase the amount of work to do in each loop to decrease the cache miss rate. Thus, lower the cache miss rate, more is the work done per loop and thus, higher the peak temperature. Note that this is also the expected behavior with cache misses. More the cache miss rate, more the amount of time spent in servicing them. Thus, cpu is stalled for more time. Thus, lower the peak temperature.

Linked-list Branch Misprediction Test
We wrap a simple branching condition around the linked-list test. However, even though we may mispredict the branch and go ahead and fetch a cache miss, it might be useful later on. Thus, a mispredicted branch is not totally useless.
We use RAND_MAX-1 and RANDMAX/2 as our comparators against the random number generated. This creates different branch misprediction rates.
Results indicate that higher the branch misprediction rate, higher is the cpu peak temperature. We believe this to be due to the work done in flushing the pipelines.

Array element-fetching Cache Miss Test
We create a huge array and load elements from it. A cache miss does not depend on the previous cache miss as was in the case of linked-list test.
Again, we add nops to reduce the cache miss rate. Thus, lower the cache miss rate, lower is the peak temperature.

Array element-fetching Branch Misprediction Test
We wrap a branch condition around the array cache miss code. In the 'if' part, we fetch the next element, in the 'else' part, we fetch the ((array_size/2)+1)st element. Since the array is large, a branch misprediction fetches useless data. Thus, we'll have to flush often (and thus stall more) for a higher branch misprediction rate. Reults indicate that higher the branch misprediction rate, lower is the peak temperature. Though this seems normal, the linked-list branch misprediction test suggested the opposite (not sure why).
