A Comparative Study of Branch Predictors
نویسنده
چکیده
A branch predictor is the part of the processor that determines whether a conditional branch in the instruction flow of a program is likely to be taken or not. Almost all pipelined processors have branch predictors, because they must guess the address of the next instruction to fetch before the current conditional instruction has been executed [1]. Hence, attempts have been made to design accurate branch predictors. This project attempts at modeling different branch predictors and comparing their performances for a set of benchmarks.

Dynamical Teams of Genetic Predictors
Genetic Programming (GP) has been shown to be a good method of predicting functions. In this context, a solution given by GP generally consists of a sole predictor. In contrast, Stack-based GP systems manipulate structures containing several predictors, which can be considered as teams of predictors. Work in Machine Learning reports that combining predictors gives good results in terms of both ...

متن کاملUsing artificial neural networks to improve hardware branch predictors
Among the current techniques to predict the outcome of branches in modern microprocessors, two-level branch predictors have shown to be one of the best mechanisms. The correct prediction of branches is a fundamental factor for achieving high performance. Branch interference is a major contributor to the number of branches mispredicted by two-level predictors [4]. Increasing the size of the PHT ...
متن کاملA Comparative Examination of Maladaptive Schemas in Sex Addicts and Normal Individuals
Objective: Sexual addiction is a psychiatric disorder with unpleasant personal, inter-personal, legal, social, and physical outcomes for the patients. The cycle of this disorder is based on a false belief system known as early maladaptive schemas. This study aimed to examine and compare maladaptive cognitive schemas in sex addicts and normal people. Methods: In the present study, a causal-comp...
متن کاملMethods of Integration of Ensemble of Neural Predictors of Time Series - Comparative Analysis
It is well known fact that organizing different predictors in an ensemble increases the accuracy of prediction of the time series. This paper discusses different methods of integration of predictors cooperating in an ensemble. The considered methods include the ordinary averaging, weighted averaging, application of principal component analysis to the data, blind source separation as well as app...
