Improving Branch Predictors by Correlating on Data Values
Branch predictors typically use combinations of branch PC bits and branch histories to make predictions. Recent improvements in branch predictors have come from reducing the effec...

A Comparison of Dynamic Branch Predictors that Use Two Levels of Branch History
Recent attention to speculative execution as a mechanism for increasing performance of single instruction streams has demanded substantially better branch prediction than what has...
