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...

Conditional branch induced control hazards cause significant performance loss in modern out-of-order superscalar processors. Dynamic branch prediction techniques help alleviate th...
We present a theoretical model for self-assembling tiles with flexible branches motivated by DNA branched junction molecules. We encode an instance of a “problem” as a pot of ...
To achieve highly accurate branch prediction, it is necessary not only to allocate more resources to branch prediction hardware but also to improve the understanding of branch exe...
The conditional branch has long been considered an expensive operation. The relative cost of conditional branches has increased as recently designed machines are now relying on de...
