TLDR
In this paper, branch prediction for multiple branch-type instructions is performed concurrently for a high-bandwidth pipeline, and the branch prediction is then supplied for further processing of the corresponding branch type instructions.Abstract:
Concurrently branch predicting for multiple branch-type instructions satisfies demands of high performance environments. Concurrently branch predicting for multiple branch-type instructions provides the instruction flow for a high bandwidth pipeline utilized in advanced performance environments. Branch predictions are concurrently generated for multiple branch-type instructions. The concurrently generated branch predictions are then supplied for further processing of the corresponding branch-type instructions.read more

David May,Andrew Craig Sturges +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a cache memory is divided into cache partitions, each cache partition having a plurality of addressable storage locations for holding items in the cache memory, and a partition indicator is allocated to each process identifying which of the cache partitions is to be used for hold items for use in the execution of that process.
