In a static prediction technique, the branch is ‘always taken’ or the branch is ‘always not-taken’ approaches. It can make static predictions by investigating particular attributes of the object code. In actual implementation, static predictions are either opcode-based, displacement-based, or based on a hint delivered by the compiler, as shown ... Read More

In a fixed prediction a similar guess is continually made, either ‘always taken’ or ‘always not-taken’ approaches.‘Always not-taken approach’ − The ‘always not taken’ approach (or ‘not taken’ approach for short) has the following typical processing scheme are as follows −It can detect an unresolved conditional branch and guess it ...

The branch prediction scheme used in a processor has a central impact on its execution. Therefore, some effort has been placed into promoting an effective scheme.A prediction can be a fixed or a true prediction. In a fixed prediction the same guess is continually made, either ‘taken’ or ‘not-taken’. This ... Read More

A conditional branch cannot be computed earlier than the referenced conditional is known. For instance, if the specified condition defines the sign of the outcome of the previous instruction, the precondition of the computation is that the previous instruction has been performed.Until the referenced condition will become known, the conditional ...

A branch in a computer program is an instruction that communicates a device to start implementing several instructions instead of easily performing the instructions in order. In high-level languages, these are defined as flow control phases and are established into the language. The figure shows an overview of branch detection ... Read More

Branch processing has two methods, such as the layout of branch processing and its microarchitectural implementation of branch processing, as shown in the figure. Branch processing consists of three major subtasks such as the detecting branches, handling unresolved conditional branches, and accessing the branch target path.The first aspect is branch ...

There are two possible ways of extending the basic concepts such as increasing the multiplicity of delay slots or introduce annulment of instruction in the delay slot. Most architecture provides one delay slot only. Few architectures are offering multiple delay slots, such as the MIPS-X.The other possibility to fill more ... Read More

When branches are processed by a pipeline simply, after each taken branch, at least one cycle remains unutilized. This is because of the assembly line-like apathy of pipelining. Instruction slots following branches are known as branch delay slots.Delay slots can also appear following load instructions; these are defined load delay ... Read More

Processors use a large variety of approaches and techniques for branch handling. Three methods give an increase to the basic methods of in-branch handling. These are as follows −whether branch delay slots are usedhow unresolved conditional branches are handledwhether the architecture provides represents to prevent conditional branches.The fundamental approaches to ...

It can evaluate and compare different branch processing techniques, it can require a performance measure. Let us consider the execution of a branch instruction in a four-stage pipeline as shown in the figure. If the branch is processed straightforwardly, the branch target address (BTA) will be computed in cycle ti+3.Then ... Read More
