Designers have invested much effort in developing accurate branch predictors with short learning periods. Such techniques rely on exploiting complex and relatively large structure...
Abstract. The perceptron predictor is a highly accurate branch predictor. Unfortunately this high accuracy comes with high complexity. The high complexity is the result of the larg...
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 ...
Branch prediction mechanisms are becoming commonplace within current generation processors. Dynamic branch predictors, albeit able to predict branches quite accurately in average,...
In recent years, highly accurate branch predictors have been proposed primarily for high performance processors. Unfortunately such predictors are extremely energy consuming and i...
