An Efficient Indirect Branch Predictor
In this paper, we present a new hybrid branch predictor called the GoStay2, which can effectively reduce indirect misprediction rates. The GoStay2 has two different mechanisms comp...

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 ...

Reconsidering Complex Branch Predictors
To sustain instruction throughput rates in more aggressively clocked microarchitectures, microarchitects have incorporated larger and more complex branch predictors into their des...
