Wish Branches: Combining Conditional Branching and Predication for Adaptive Predicated Execution
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...

An Integrated Partitioning and Scheduling Based Branch Decoupling
Conditional branch induced control hazards cause significant performance loss in modern out-of-order superscalar processors. Dynamic branch prediction techniques help alleviate th...

A Computational Model for Self-assembling Flexible Tiles
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 ...

Analyzing the Working Set Characteristics of Branch Execution
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...

Improving Performance by Branch Reordering
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...
