Supporting Highly-Speculative Execution via Adaptive Branch Trees
Most of the prediction mechanisms predict a single path to continue the execution on a branch. Alternatively, we may exploit parallelism from either possible paths of a branch, di...

Reducing Branch Costs via Branch Alignment
Several researchers have proposed algorithms for basic block reordering. We call these branch alignment algorithms. The primary emphasis of these algorithms has been on improving ...

Unbiased Branches: An Open Problem
The majority of currently available dynamic branch predictors base their prediction accuracy on the previous k branch outcomes. Such predictors sustain high prediction accuracy but...

VPC prediction: reducing the cost of indirect branches via hardware-based dynamic devirtualization
Indirect branches have become increasingly common in modular programs written in modern object-oriented languages and virtualmachine based runtime systems. Unfortunately, the pred...

Predicting Secret Keys Via Branch Prediction
This paper announces a new software side-channel attack — enabled by the branch prediction capability common to all modern highperformance CPUs. The penalty paid (extra clock cyc...
