Improved branch prediction accuracy is essential to sustaining instruction throughput with today’s deep pipelines. We introduce piecewise linear branch prediction, an idealized ...
Piecewise linear branch predictor has been demonstrated to have superior prediction accuracy; however, its huge hardware overhead prevents the predictor from being practical in the...
— A method is presented to synthesize wideband linear-phase FIR filters with a piecewise-polynomial-sinusoidal impulse response. The proposed method is based on merging the earl...
This paper presents a new method for reconstructing piecewise linear surfaces from planar polygonal contours that branch. For non-branching contours, experience has shown that the...

Most decision tree algorithms base their splitting decisions on a piecewise constant model. Often these splitting algorithms are extrapolated to trees with non-constant models at ...
