Abstract: This paper presents the Alpha EV8 conditional branch predictor.
The Alpha EV8 microprocessor project, canceled in
June 2001 in a late phase of development, envisioned an
aggressive 8-wide issue out-of-order superscalar microarchitecture
featuring a very deep pipeline and simultaneous
multithreading. Performance of such a processor is highly
dependent on the accuracy of its branch predictor and consequently
a very large silicon area was devoted to branch
prediction on EV8. The Alpha EV8 branch... (Update)
