On-Demand Solution to Minimize I-Cache Leakage Energy with Maintaining Performance
This paper describes a new on-demand wake-up prediction policy for reducing leakage power. The key insight is that branch prediction can be used to selectively wake up only the nee...

Phantom-BTB: a virtualized branch target buffer design
Modern processors use branch target buffers (BTBs) to predict the target address of branches such that they can fetch ahead in the instruction stream increasing concurrency and pe...

Branch Strategies to Optimize Decision Trees for Wide-Issue Architectures
Abstract. Branch predictors are associated with critical design issues for nowadays instruction greedy processors. We study two important domains where the optimization of decision...
