Designers have invested much effort in developing accurate branch predictors with short learning periods. Such techniques rely on exploiting complex and relatively large structure...
This paper proposes a low-energy solution for CAMbased highly associative I-caches using a segmented wordline and a predictor-based instruction fetch mechanism. Not all instructio...
Modern processors require highly accurate branch prediction for good performance. As such, a number of branch predictors have been proposed with varying size and complexity. This ...
Accurate branch prediction is essential for obtaining high performance in pipelined superscalar processors. Though many dynamic branch predictors have been proposed to obtain high...
Abstract. The perceptron predictor is a highly accurate branch predictor. Unfortunately this high accuracy comes with high complexity. The high complexity is the result of the larg...
