This paper describes the design of a dynamic branchpredictorfor a VLIW processor. The developed branch predictor predicts the direction of a branch, i.e., taken or not taken, and ...
Indirect branches have become increasingly common in modular programs written in modern object-oriented languages and virtualmachine based runtime systems. Unfortunately, the pred...
Memory accesses have always been a speed-limiting factor, and memory bandwidth has always been an intensively contended scarce resource. Nevertheless, with recent pervasive emergen...
