  • Loop predictor-directed loop buffer
    Patent number: 9891923
    Abstract: A loop predictor trains a branch instruction to determine a trained loop count of a loop. When the loop fits in an instruction buffer, the processor stops fetching from an instruction cache, sends the loop instructions to an execution engine from the buffer without fetching from the cache, maintains a loop pop count of times the branch is sent to the execution engine from the buffer, and predicts the branch instruction is taken when the loop pop count is less than the trained loop count and otherwise predicts not taken.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 6, 2014
