Using Multiple Predictors to Improve the Accuracy of File Access Predictions
Existing file access predictors keep track of previous file access patterns and rely on a single heuristic to predict which of the previous successors to the file being currently ...

Improving Branch Predictors by Correlating on Data Values
Branch predictors typically use combinations of branch PC bits and branch histories to make predictions. Recent improvements in branch predictors have come from reducing the effec...
