Effect of various branch predictors on different benchmarks using sim-out order

March 2012 to May 2012

Team Members: gayatri pochiraju, david rico
Analyzed the effect of various branch predictors (bimodal, 2-level, bimodal with
RAS4, bimodal with RAS 16)
on the benchmarks
GCC, ANAGRAM and GO.

Optimization of Alpha processor with Branch Prediction

January 2012 to May 2012
Team Members: Amulya Paruchuri
Performance of several branch predictor types and different RAS configurations w
as compared for three individual
benchmarks (gcc, anagram, go). Performances of different configurations were com
pared based on CPI and branch predictor
hit rates. Also, the performance of the branch target buffer (BTB) was compared
with different
branch predictor configurations and this comparison was made with respect to add
ress hits and misses
