Abstract |
This paper presents a multiple branch predictor using perceptrons. The key idea is to apply neural networks to the multiple branch predictor. We describe our design and evaluate it with the SPEC 2000 integer benchmarks. Our predictor achieves increased accuracy than the Bi-Mode and the YAGS multiple branch predictor with the same hardware cost. |
