Branch predictors typically use combinations of branch PC bits and branch histories to make predictions. Recent improvements in branch predictors have come from reducing the effec...
Predictors essentially predicts the most recent events based on the record of past events, history. It is obvious that prediction performance largely relies on regularity
Abstract. Branch Prediction is a common function in nowadays microprocessor. Branch predictor is duplicated into multiple copies in each core of a multicore and many-core processor...
To continue to improve processor performance, microarchitects seek to increase the effective instruction level parallelism (ILP) that can be exploited in applications. A fundament...
The continual demand for greater performance and growing concerns about the power consumption in highperformance microprocessors make the branch predictor a critical component of ...
