1. 2-bit counter branch-prediction buffer: 作为最基本的分支预测器,2-bit动态分支预测器一般是由指令PC低位bit索引的buffer,每个entry有2 bit指示预测跳转状态,并在跳转指令执行完成后更新状态值。 The states in a 2-bit prediction scheme 2-bit counter可以当作一个状态机,一共有四种状态:strongly not taken...
Incomputer architecture, abranch target predictoris the part of a processor that predicts the target of a takenconditional branchor an unconditional branch instruction before the target of the branch instruction is computed by the execution unit of the processor. Branch target prediction is not the ...

Branch Prediction is an enhancement to the above, where our computer will attempt to predict which way a branch is going to go and then act accordingly. In our above example, the processor might predict thatif (a < 10)is likely to betrue, and so it will act as if the instructiona +...
根据原文中 "At prediction time, the loop predictor is checked. On a hit with high confidence, the (non speculative) number of the current iteration and the number of iterations in the loop are read on the predictor."可以看出 loop predictor table 会输出两个值: the (non-speculative) number...
