Model checking games are instances of Hintikka’s game semantics for logic used for purposes of debugging systems verification models. Previous work in the area has developed the...
Predicated execution has been used to reduce the number of branch mispredictions by eliminating hard-to-predict branches. However, the additional instruction overhead and addition...

The conditional branch has long been considered an expensive operation. The relative cost of conditional branches has increased as recently designed machines are now relying on de...
The majority of currently available dynamic branch predictors base their prediction accuracy on the previous k branch outcomes. Such predictors sustain high prediction accuracy but...

We present a scheme to compress branch trace information for use in snapshot-based microarchitecture simulation. The compressed trace can be used to warm any arbitrary branch pred...
