....ahead branch prediction. Information associated with an instruction block is used to predict the two block ahead instruction block address instead of the standard one block ahead instruction block address. This allows to pipeline the instruction address generator on two cycles. Recently Jimenez [6] showed that ahead pipelining a simple gshare branch predictor may result in a higher fetch bandwidth than using one cycle ahead complex conditional branch predictors with multiple cycle response time. In this paper, we investigate in detail a general and aggressive form of ahead pipelining of ....
....occur either on interferences in a table or if I and J have same address and the same history and path. As we use long histories and large tables, both these phenomena occur very rarely. The impact on prediction accuracy of these phenomena was independently reported as neglectable in [12] and in [6]. The other tables, respectively the line predictor for the hierarchical IAG and the BTB, the return decode predictor table and the two block ahead decode table for the ahead pipelined IAG, can be updated at misfetch time, resolution time or commit time. Updating them only at commit time or ....
