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 ...
Indirect branches have become increasingly common in modular programs written in modern object-oriented languages and virtualmachine based runtime systems. Unfortunately, the pred...
Branch misprediction penalty consists of two components: the time wasted on mis-speculative execution until the mispredicted branch is resolved and the time to restart the pipelin...

Pipelining has become a common technique to increase throughput of the instruction fetch, instruction decode, and instruction execution portions of modern computers. Branch instru...
