Abstract: Recent studies of dynamic branch prediction schemes rely almost exclusively on user-only simulations to evaluate performance. We find that an evaluation of these schemes with user and kernel references often leads to different conclusions. By analyzing our own Atom-generated system traces and the system traces from the Instruction Benchmark Suite, we quantify the effects of kernel and user interactions on branch prediction accuracy. We find that useronly traces yield accurate prediction results ... (Update)
