Abstract: The states of the 2-bit counters used in many branch prediction schemes can be divided into "strong" and "weak" states. Instead of the typical saturating counter encoding of the states, the 2-bit counter can be encoded such that the least significant bit directly represents whether the current state is strong or weak. This extra bit provides hysteresis to prevent the counters from switching directions too quickly. Past studies have exploited the strong bias of the direction bit to... (Update)
