—Current micro-architecture blindly uses the address in the program counter to fetch and execute instructions without validating its legitimacy. Whenever this blind-folded instru...
Program-counter-based (PC-based) prediction techniques have been shown to be highly effective and are widely used in computer architecture design. In this paper, we explore the op...
Hard-to-predict branches depending on longlatency cache-misses have been recognized as a major performance obstacle for modern microprocessors. With the widening speed gap between...
