Branch mispredictions can have a major performance impact on high-performance processors. Multipath execution has recently been introduced to help limit the misprediction penaltie...
Prior research shows that database system performance is dominated by off-chip data stalls, resulting in a concerted effort to bring data into on-chip caches. At the same time, hi...
