Title
An Idealistic Neuro-PPM Branch Predictor
Abstract
Historically, Markovian predictors have been very successful in predicting branch out- comes. In this work we propose a hybrid scheme that employs two Prediction by Partial Matching (PPM) Markovian predictors, one that predicts based on local branch histories and one based on global branch histories. The two independent predictions are combined using a neural network. On the CBP-2 traces the proposed scheme achieves over twice the prediction accuracy of the gshare predictor.
