This work studies the performance impact of return value prediction in a system that supports speculative method-level parallelism (SMLP). A SMLP system creates a speculative thread at each method call. This allows the method and the code from which it is called to be executed in parallel. To improve performance, the return values of methods are predicted in hardware so that no method has to wa...
