Unbiased Branches: An Open Problem
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...

Supporting Highly-Speculative Execution via Adaptive Branch Trees
Most of the prediction mechanisms predict a single path to continue the execution on a branch. Alternatively, we may exploit parallelism from either possible paths of a branch, di...

Dynamic History-length Fitting: A Third Level of Adaptivity for Branch Prediction
Accurate branch prediction is essential for obtaining high performance in pipelined superscalar processors that execute instructions speculatively. Some of the best current predic...

Wish Branches: Combining Conditional Branching and Predication for Adaptive Predicated Execution
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...
