Improving Branch Prediction and Predicated Execution in Out-of-Order Processors
If-conversion is a compiler technique that reduces the misprediction penalties caused by hard-to-predict branches, transforming control dependencies into data dependencies. Althou...

Characterizing and predicting value degree of use
A value’s degree of use—the number of dynamic uses of that value—provides the most essential information needed to optimize its communication. We present simulation results ...

Architectural Support for Compiler-Synthesized Dynamic Branch Prediction Strategies: Rationale and Initial Results
This paper introduces a new architectural approach that supports compiler-synthesized dynamic branch predication. In compiler-synthesized dynamic branch prediction, the compiler g...
