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...

EXACT: explicit dynamic-branch prediction with active updates
Branches that depend directly or indirectly on load instructions are a leading cause of mispredictions by state-of-the-art branch predictors. For a branch of this type, there is a...

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 ...

The Agree Predictor: A Mechanism for Reducing Negative Branch History Interference
Deeply pipelined, superscalar processors require accurate branch prediction to achieve high performance. Two-level branch predictors have been shown to achieve high prediction acc...
