  • Publication number: 20240320008
    Abstract: The present disclosure related to perceptron based branch prediction methods, devices, and systems. One example method includes storing, in a memory, multiple perceptron tables, determining, based on a branch program counter (PC) and a branch history and from among the multiple perceptron tables, a perceptron stored in a first perceptron table, obtaining weights of the perceptron stored in the first perceptron table, determining, based on the weights and the branch history, a branch prediction indicating a prediction of a direction that a branch will take upon instruction execution, and obtaining one or more instructions based on the predicted direction. Each perceptron table of the multiple perceptron tables has a different branch history length and a different tag length.

  • Patent number: 11983116
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to technology for pre-fetching data. An apparatus comprises a processor core, pre-fetch logic, and a memory hierarchy. The pre-fetch logic is configured to generate cache pre-fetch requests for a program instruction identified by a program counter. The pre-fetch logic is configured to track one or more statistics with respect to the cache pre-fetch requests. The pre-fetch logic is configured to link the one or more statistics with the program counter. The pre-fetch logic is configured to determine a degree of the cache pre-fetch requests for the program instruction based on the one or more statistics. The memory hierarchy comprises main memory and a hierarchy of caches. The memory hierarchy further comprises a memory controller configured to pre-fetch memory blocks identified in the cache pre-fetch requests from a current level in the memory hierarchy into a higher level of the memory hierarchy.
