An Analysis of Correlation and Predictability: What Makes Two-Level Branch Predictors Work
Pipeline flushes due to branch mispredictions is one of the most serious problems facing the designer of a deeply pipelined, superscalar processor. Many branch predictors have bee...

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...

A Comparative Analysis of Schemes for Correlated Branch Prediction
Modern high-performance architectures require extremely accurate branch prediction to overcome the performance limitations of conditional branches. We present a framework that cat...

Speculative Updates of Local and Global Branch History: A Quantitative Analysis
In today's wide-issue processors, even small branch-misprediction rates introduce substantial performance penalties. Worse yet, inadequate branch prediction creates a bottlen...

Dynamic prediction of collection yield for managed runtimes
The growth in complexity of modern systems makes it increasingly difficult to extract high-performance. The software stacks for such systems typically consist of multiple layers a...
