Accurate branch prediction is essential for obtaining high performance in pipelined superscalar processors that execute instructions speculatively. Some of the best current predic...
Pipeline flushes due to branch mispredictions is one of the most serious problems facing the designer of a deeply pipelined, superscalar processor. Many branch predictors have bee...
