Most well-performing load value predictors are hybrids that combine multiple predictors into one. Such hybrids are often large. To reduce their size and to improve their performan...
—This paper presents a design space exploration of a selective load value prediction scheme suitable for energyaware Simultaneous Multi-Threaded (SMT) architectures. A load value...
Researchers have studied hybrid branch predictors that leverage the strengths of multiple stand-alone predictors. The common theme among the proposed techniques is a selection mec...
