....to generate the program profiles. Program based branch prediction methods attempt to predict branch behavior in the absence of profile information and are based only on a program s structure. Some of these techniques use heuristics based on local knowledge that can be encoded in the architecture [14, 18]. Other techniques rely on applying heuristics based on less local program structure in an effort to predict branch behavior [3] In this paper, we describe a new approach to program based branch prediction that does not rely on such heuristics. Our branch prediction relies on a general ....
