Reducing the Branch Power Cost In Embedded Processors Through Static Scheduling, Profiling and SuperBlock Formation
Hicks, M.; Egan, C.; Christianson, B.; Quick, P. (2006)Dynamic branch predictor logic alone accounts for approximately 10% of total processor power dissipation. Recent research indicates that the power cost of a large dynamic branch predictor is offset by the power savings ... -
Towards an Energy Efficient Branch Prediction Scheme Using Profiling, Adaptive Bias Measurement and Delay Region Scheduling.
Hicks, M.; Egan, C.; Christianson, B.; Quick, P. (2007)Dynamic branch predictors account for between 10% and 40% of a processor’s dynamic power consumption. This power cost is proportional to the number of accesses made to that dynamic predictor during a program’s execution. ...
