A Comparative Analysis of Schemes for Correlated Branch Prediction
Modern high-performance architectures require extremely accurate branch prediction to overcome the performance limitations of conditional branches. We present a framework that cat...

Branch Strategies to Optimize Decision Trees for Wide-Issue Architectures
Abstract. Branch predictors are associated with critical design issues for nowadays instruction greedy processors. We study two important domains where the optimization of decision...

Wish Branches: Enabling Adaptive and Aggressive Predicated Execution
Wish branches, a new class of control-flow instructions, allow the hardware to dynamically decide whether or not to use predicated execution for a dynamic branch instruction. The ...
