| 20120124344 | LOOP PREDICTOR AND METHOD FOR INSTRUCTION FETCHING USING A LOOP PREDICTOR - A loop predictor and a method for instruction fetching using a loop predictor. A processor may include a loop predictor in addition to a primary branch predictor. A relatively common scenario in program execution is that a set of branches repeat over and over forming a loop. The loop may be detected based on a repeated pattern of access to a data structure used for branch prediction. Once a loop is detected and it may be determined whether the codes would stay in the loop for at least a duration sufficient to disable the branch prediction. On a determination that the detected loop is locked, a sequence of instruction addresses in one iteration of the detected loop may be captured in a buffer and the branch predictor may be turned off and a sequence of fetch instructions may be played from the buffer. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120124349 | POWER EFFICIENT PATTERN HISTORY TABLE FETCH IN BRANCH PREDICTOR - A method and apparatus for branch prediction is disclosed. A pattern history table (PHT) is accessed based on at least one global history value to obtain a prediction value. The prediction value and the at least one global history value used to obtain the prediction value are placed in a queue. If a branch prediction is requested, the queue is accessed to obtain a prediction value. The queue may include any number of entries and the queue maintains the oldest prediction value at the head of the queue. The prediction value at the head of the queue is used when a branch prediction is needed. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120166775 | COMBINED LEVEL 1 AND LEVEL 2 BRANCH PREDICTOR - A branch predictor for use in a processor includes a Level 1 branch predictor, a Level 2 branch predictor, a match determining circuit, and an override determining circuit.

The override determining circuit determines whether to override the Level 1 branch prediction with the Level 2 branch prediction. The Level 1 branch prediction is used when the Level 1 and Level 2 branch predictions match or when the Level 1 and Level 2 branch predictions do not match and the Level 1 branch prediction is not overridden. The Level 2 branch prediction is used when the Level 1 and Level 2 branch predictions do not match and the Level 1 branch prediction is overridden. | 06-28-2012 |

Each entry of the sparse cache stores a bit vector indicating whether or not a corresponding instruction cache line includes additional branch instructions. This indication may also be used to select an entry in the dense cache for storage. A second sparse cache stores entire evicted entries from the first sparse cache. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20110093658 | CLASSIFYING AND SEGREGATING BRANCH TARGETS - A system and method for branch prediction in a microprocessor.

The channel is oriented with the pair of arms parallel to the axis of the spool and with the central web extending radially, relative to the axis of the spool. The channel has a plurality of adjacent windings, a first and second of the arms of spirally-wound channel cumulatively forming the inner and outer surfaces of the spool. The arms are spaced apart a distance approximating the width of the central web, such that the central web of the windings of the channel is received between the arms of adjacent windings and is retained therein to establish an overlap of windings in the axial direction. Other embodiments feature S, B and E-shaped channels to form the spool, some embodiments having inner and outer layers of channel. The spool is suitable for holding wound, thin metal stock, such as aluminum for making beverage cans, having a smooth outer surface which preserves the smoothness of the wound stock. | 01-17-2013 |
