Static Methods in Hybrid Branch Prediction
Hybrid branch predictors combine the predictions of multiple single-level or two-level branch predictors. The prediction-combining hardware -- the "meta-predictor" -may ...

A WCET-Oriented Static Branch Prediction Scheme for Real Time Systems
Branch prediction mechanisms are becoming commonplace within current generation processors. Dynamic branch predictors, albeit able to predict branches quite accurately in average,...

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...

Automated Power Gating of Registers Using CoDeL and FSM Branch Prediction
In this paper, we use the CoDeL hardware design platform to analyze the potential and performance impact of power gating individual registers. For each register, we examine the per...

Optimizing indirect branch prediction accuracy in virtual machine interpreters
Interpreters designed for efficiency execute a huge number of indirect branches and can spend more than half of the execution time in indirect branch mispredictions. Branch target...
