Abstract: Pipeline stalls due to conditional branches represent one of the most significant impediments to realizing the performance potential of deeply pipelined, superscalar processors. Many branch predictors have been proposed to help alleviate this problem, including the Two-Level Adaptive Branch Predictor, and more recently, twocomponent hybrid branch predictors. In a less idealized environment, such as a time-shared system, code of interest involves context switches. Context switches, even at... (Update)
