Accurate Indirect Branch Prediction
Indirect branch prediction is likely to become increasingly important in the future because indirect branches occur more frequently in object-oriented programs. With misprediction ...

VPC prediction: reducing the cost of indirect branches via hardware-based dynamic devirtualization
Indirect branches have become increasingly common in modular programs written in modern object-oriented languages and virtualmachine based runtime systems. Unfortunately, the pred...

Target Prediction for Indirect Jumps
As the issue rate and pipeline depth of high performance superscalar processors increase, the amount of speculative work issued also increases. Because speculative work must be th...

Optimizing indirect branch prediction accuracy in virtual machine interpreters
Interpreters designed for efficiency execute a huge number of indirect branches and can spend more than half of the execution time in indirect branch mispredictions. Branch target...
