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...

An Efficient Indirect Branch Predictor
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...

Hardware Support for Control Transfers in Code Caches
Many dynamic optimization and/or binary translation systems hold optimized/translated superblocks in a code cache. Conventional code caching systems suffer from overheads when con...
