Insights into branch predictor organization and operation can be used in architecture-aware compiler optimizations to improve program performance. Unfortunately, such details are ...
Piecewise linear branch predictor has been demonstrated to have superior prediction accuracy; however, its huge hardware overhead prevents the predictor from being practical in the...
Accurate instruction fetch and branch prediction is increasingly important on today’s wide-issue architectures. Fetch prediction is the process of determining the next instructi...
This paper presents the Alpha EV8 conditional branch predictor. The Alpha EV8 microprocessor project, canceled in June 2001 in a late phase of development, envisioned an aggressiv...
