Creating artificial global history to improve branch prediction accuracy
Modern processors require highly accurate branch prediction for good performance. As such, a number of branch predictors have been proposed with varying size and complexity. This ...

Characterizing the impact of predicated execution on branch prediction
Branch instructions are recognized as a major impediment to exploiting instruction level parallelism. Even with sophisticated branch prediction techniques, many frequently execute...

EXACT: explicit dynamic-branch prediction with active updates
Branches that depend directly or indirectly on load instructions are a leading cause of mispredictions by state-of-the-art branch predictors. For a branch of this type, there is a...

A Comparison of Dynamic Branch Predictors that Use Two Levels of Branch History
Recent attention to speculative execution as a mechanism for increasing performance of single instruction streams has demanded substantially better branch prediction than what has...
