A Comparative Analysis of Schemes for Correlated Branch Prediction
Modern high-performance architectures require extremely accurate branch prediction to overcome the performance limitations of conditional branches. We present a framework that cat...

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...

Address-branch correlation: A novel locality for long-latency hard-to-predict branches
Hard-to-predict branches depending on longlatency cache-misses have been recognized as a major performance obstacle for modern microprocessors. With the widening speed gap between...
