Predicting Conditional Branches With Fusion-Based Hybrid Predictors
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...

An Analysis of Correlation and Predictability: What Makes Two-Level Branch Predictors Work
Pipeline flushes due to branch mispredictions is one of the most serious problems facing the designer of a deeply pipelined, superscalar processor. Many branch predictors have bee...

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...
