Branch Target Buffers: WCET Analysis Framework and Timing Predictability
—One step in the verification of hard real-time systems is to determine upper bounds on the worst-case execution times (WCET) of tasks. To obtain tight bounds, a WCET analysis h...

Static Methods in Hybrid Branch Prediction
Hybrid branch predictors combine the predictions of multiple single-level or two-level branch predictors. The prediction-combining hardware -- the "meta-predictor" -may ...

Automated Power Gating of Registers Using CoDeL and FSM Branch Prediction
In this paper, we use the CoDeL hardware design platform to analyze the potential and performance impact of power gating individual registers. For each register, we examine the per...
