Improved branch prediction accuracy is essential to sustaining instruction throughput with today’s deep pipelines. We introduce piecewise linear branch prediction, an idealized ...
We introduce Branch Predictor Prediction (BPP) as a power-aware branch prediction technique for high performance processors. Our predictor reduces branch prediction power dissipat...
Recent attention to speculative execution as a mechanism for increasing performance of single instruction streams has demanded substantially better branch prediction than what has...
Computer architecture research in academia and industry is heavily reliant on simulation studies. While microprocessor companies have the resources to develop highly detailed simu...
