Dynamic Conditional Branch Balancing during the High-Level Synthesis of Control-Intensive Designs
We present two novel strategies to increase the scope for application of speculative code motions: (1) Adding scheduling steps dynamically during scheduling to conditional branche...

Cost-Effective Graceful Degradation in Speculative Processor Subsystems: The Branch Prediction Case
We analyze the effect of errors in branch predictors, a representative example of speculative processor subsystems, to motivate the necessity for fault tolerance in such subsystem...
