  • Branch target preloading using a multiplexer and hash circuit to reduce incorrect branch predictions
    Patent number: 9519480
    Abstract: A system provides complex branch execution hardware and a hardware-based Multiplexer (MUX) to multiplex a fetch address of a future branch and a preloaded branch fetch address to create an index hash value that is used to index a branch target prediction table for execution by a processor core, in order to reduce branch mis-prediction by preloading.
    Type: Grant

  • Simplified Implementation of Branch Target Preloading
    Publication number: 20090204798
    Abstract: A system for using complex branch execution hardware and a hardware based Multiplex (MUX) to multiplex a fetch address of a future branch and a branch fetch address to one index hash value used to index a branch target prediction table for execution by a processor core, to reduce branch mis-prediction by preloading.
