Abstract: There is wide agreement that one of the most important impediments to the performance of current and future pipelined superscalar processors is the presence of conditional branches in the instruction stream. Speculative execution seems to be one solution of choice to the branch problem, but speculative work is discarded if a branch is mispredicted. Therefore, we need a very accurate branch predictor; 95% accuracy is not good enough. This paper proposes branch classification to help improve the... (Update)
