Abstract |
In order to increase the performance of multi-core system processor architectures, the multi-thread branch predictor which speculatively fetches and allocates threads to each core should be highly accurate. In this paper, the perceptron based multi-thread branch predictor is proposed for the multi-core processor architectures. Using SPEC 2000 benchmarks as input, the trace-driven simulation has been performed for the 2 to 16-core architectures employing perceptron multi-thread branch predictor extensively. Its performance is compared with the architecture which utilizes the two-level adaptive multi-thread branch predictor. |
