Autocorrelation analysis: a new and improved method for measuring branch predictability
Branch taken rate and transition rate have been proposed as metrics to characterize the branch predictability. However, these two metrics may misclassify branches with regular his...

Wish Branches: Enabling Adaptive and Aggressive Predicated Execution
Wish branches, a new class of control-flow instructions, allow the hardware to dynamically decide whether or not to use predicated execution for a dynamic branch instruction. The ...
