Abstract: Recent superscalar processors highly depend on efficient branch prediction to exploit a large amount of instruction level parallelism. However, it is known that branch prediction accuracy is degraded when process switches are present. Multithreading architectures are considered a better approach to increase the total throughput. In multithreading architectures, the process switch rate is very high and even a second level cache miss causes a process switch. In such an environment, branch... (Update)
