Target Prediction for Indirect Jumps
As the issue rate and pipeline depth of high performance superscalar processors increase, the amount of speculative work issued also increases. Because speculative work must be th...

Power Issues Related to Branch Prediction
This paper explores the role of branch predictor organization in power/energy/performance tradeoffs for processor design. We find that as a general rule, to reduce overall energy ...

Unbiased Branches: An Open Problem
The majority of currently available dynamic branch predictors base their prediction accuracy on the previous k branch outcomes. Such predictors sustain high prediction accuracy but...
