In this paper, we present a new hybrid branch predictor called the GoStay2, which can effectively reduce indirect misprediction rates. The GoStay2 has two different mechanisms comp...

It is often possible to greatly improve the performance of a hardware system via the use of predictive (speculative) techniques. For example, the performance of out-of-order micro...
