Improving Branch Prediction Accuracy in Embedded Processors in the Presence of Context Switches
Embedded processors like Intel’s XScale use dynamic branch prediction to improve performance. Due to the presence of context switches, the accuracy of these predictors is reduce...

The impact of delay on the design of branch predictors
Modern microprocessors employ increasingly complicated branch predictors to achieve instruction fetch bandwidth that is sufficient for wide out-of-order execution cores. While ex...

Dynamic Branch Prediction with Perceptrons
This paper presents a new method for branch prediction. The key idea is to use one of the simplest possible neural networks, the perceptron as an alternative to the commonly used ...

Supporting Highly-Speculative Execution via Adaptive Branch Trees
Most of the prediction mechanisms predict a single path to continue the execution on a branch. Alternatively, we may exploit parallelism from either possible paths of a branch, di...
