Dynamic Branch Prediction for a VLIW Processor
This paper describes the design of a dynamic branchpredictorfor a VLIW processor. The developed branch predictor predicts the direction of a branch, i.e., taken or not taken, and ...

Improving Branch Predictors by Correlating on Data Values
Branch predictors typically use combinations of branch PC bits and branch histories to make predictions. Recent improvements in branch predictors have come from reducing the effec...
