Confidence Estimation for Speculation Control
Modern processors improve instruction level parallelism by speculation. The outcome of data and control decisions is predicted, and the operations are speculatively executed and o...

Dynamic feature selection for hardware prediction
It is often possible to greatly improve the performance of a hardware system via the use of predictive (speculative) techniques. For example, the performance of out-of-order micro...

Cost-Effective Graceful Degradation in Speculative Processor Subsystems: The Branch Prediction Case
We analyze the effect of errors in branch predictors, a representative example of speculative processor subsystems, to motivate the necessity for fault tolerance in such subsystem...
