Abstract: In this paper, we study the effects of manipulating the architected direction of conditional branches. Through the use of statistical sampling, we find that about 40% of all dynamic branches and about 50% of mispredicted branches do not affect correct program behavior when forced down the incorrect path. We call such branches Y-branches. (Update)
