Improved branch prediction accuracy is essential to sustaining instruction throughput with today’s deep pipelines. We introduce piecewise linear branch prediction, an idealized ...
The majority of currently available branch predictors base their prediction accuracy on the previous k branch outcomes. Such predictors sustain high prediction accuracy but they do...

We introduce Branch Predictor Prediction (BPP) as a power-aware branch prediction technique for high performance processors. Our predictor reduces branch prediction power dissipat...
Although high branch prediction accuracy is necessary for high performance, it typically comes at the cost of larger predictor tables and/or more complex prediction algorithms. Un...
