Modern microprocessors employ increasingly complicated branch predictors to achieve instruction fetch bandwidth that is sufficient for wide out-of-order execution cores. While ex...
We introduce Branch Predictor Prediction (BPP) as a power-aware branch prediction technique for high performance processors. Our predictor reduces branch prediction power dissipat...
—Modern compression standards such as H.264, DivX, or VC-1 provide astonishing quality at the costs of steadily increasing processing requirements. Therefore, efficient solution...
In this work a branch prediction system which utilizes evolutionary techniques is introduced. It allows the predictor to adapt to the executed code and thus to improve its perform...
Selectivity estimation of path expressions in querying XML data plays an important role in query optimization. A path expression may contain multiple branches with predicates, each...
