Post subject: | A history of branch prediction |
This is a nice semi-technical article, a historical treatment of branch prediction, and the performance vs cost tradeoffs, for a variety of schemes varying from nothing at all to hybrid approaches seen from 1998 to 2010. More recent branch prediction technology being even more arcane and not necessarily public. https://danluu.com/branch-prediction/ With diagrams too! Earliest referenced machine 1977, latest 2010. |
