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...

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 ...

2D-Profiling: Detecting Input-Dependent Branches with a Single Input Data Set
Static compilers use profiling to predict run-time program behavior. Generally, this requires multiple input sets to capture wide variations in run-time behavior. This is expensiv...
