Indirect-branch prediction is becoming more important for modern processors as more
programs are written in object-oriented languages. Previous hardware-based indirect …

Predicting indirect-branch targets has become a performance bottleneck for many
applications. Previous high-performance indirect-branch predictors usually require …

Indirect branch prediction is a performance limiting factor for current computer systems,
preventing superscalar processors from exploiting the available ILP. Indirect branches are …

History-based branch direction predictors for conditional branches are shown to be highly
accurate. Indirect branches however, are hard to predict as they may have multiple targets …

Modern software uses indirect branches for various purposes including, but not limited to,
virtual method dispatch and implementation of switch statements. Because an indirect …

High performance CPUs constantly face obstacles in pipelining delays from conditional
branches to reach their expected potential. Precise branch prediction is required to …

In theory, branch predictors with more complicated algorithms and larger data structures
provide more accurate predictions. Unfortunately, overly large structures and excessively …
