GPUs employ thousands of threads per core to achieve high throughput. These threads exhibit localities in control-flow, instruction and data addresses and values. In this study we investigate inter-warp instruction temporal locality and show that during short intervals a significant share of fetched instructions are fetched unnecessarily. This observation provides several opportunities to enhance GPUs. We discuss different possibilities and evaluate filter cache as a case study. Moreover, we investigate how variations in microarchitectural parameters impacts potential filter cache benefits in GPUs.
