Abstract: Many compilers rely on branch prediction to improve program performance by identifying frequently executed regions and by aiding in scheduling instructions. Profile-based predictors require a time-consuming and inconvenient compile-profile-compile cycle in order to make predictions. We present a program-based branch predictor that performs well for a large and diverse set of programs written in C and Fortran. In addition to using natural loop analysis to predict branches that control the... (Update)
