Abstract
Since now, in the constant effort to find ways to achieve better processor's performances, the develop of more precise branch predictors has been one of the most profitable path. Currently many studies noticed that improving the precision we do not receive a relevant upgrade in performance. This saturation is mainly due to certain branches hard to predict even with bigger predictors. To solve this problem we need to find another direction. One possible path of research could be found looking at the penalties caused by a misprediction. Assuming that we are forced to have a certain number of mispredictions we can find ways to reduce the time lost.
The exploitation of a code’s characteristic called Control Independence could be a promising path
