To achieve high performance by exploiting instruction level parallelism aggressively in superscalar processors, it is necessary to overcome the limitation imposed by control dependences and data dependences which prevent instructions from executing parallel. Value prediction is a technique that breaks data dependences by predicting the outcome of an instruction and executes speculatively its data dependent instruction based on the predicted outcome. In this paper, a hybrid value prediction scheme with dynamic classification mechanism is proposed. We design a hybrid predictor by combining the last predictor, a stride predictor and a two-level predictor. The choice of a predictor for each instruction is determined by a dynamic classification mechanism. This makes each predictor utilized more efficiently than the hybrid predictor without dynamic classification mechanism. To show performance improvements of our scheme, we simulate the SPECint95 benchmark set by using execution-driven simulator. The results show that our scheme effect reduce of 45% hardware cost and 16% prediction accuracy improvements comparing with the conventional hybrid prediction scheme and two-level value prediction scheme.

We propose a new hybrid value predictor which achieves high performance by combining several predictors. Because the proposed hybrid value predictor can update the prediction table speculatively, it efficiently reduces the number of mispredicted instructions due to stale data. Also, the proposed predictor can enhance the prediction accuracy and efficiently decrease the hardware cost of predictor, because it allocates instructions into the best-suited predictor during instruction fetch stage by using the information of static classification which is obtained from the profile-based compiler implementation. For the 16-issue superscalar processors, simulation results based on the SimpleScalar/PISA tool set show that we achieve the average prediction rates of 73% by using speculative update and the average prediction rates of 88% by adding static classification for the SPECint95 benchmark programs.

본 논문에서 ILP (Instruction Level Parallelism)의 성능향상을 위하여 데이터 값들을 미리 예측하여 병렬로 이슈(issue)하고 수행하는 기존의 데이터 값 예측기(data value predictor)를 비교 분석하여 각 예측기의 예측율을 측정하고, 2-단계 데이터 값 예측기(Two-Level Data Value Predictor)와 혼합형 데이터 값 예측기(Hydrid Data Value Predictor)에서 발생되는 aiasing 을 측정하기 위해 수정된 데이터 값 예측기를 사용하여 측정한 결과 aliasing은 50% 감소하였지만 예측율에는 영향을 미치지 못함과 데이터 값 예측기의 예측율을 측정한 결과 혼합형 데이터 값 예측기의 예측율이 2-단계 데이터 값 예측기와 스트라이드 데이터 값 예측기(Stride Data Value Predictor)에서 평균 5.7%, 최근 값 예측기(Last Data Value Predictor)보다는 평균 38%의 예측 정확도가 높음을 입증하였다.

데이터 종속성을 제거하기 위해서 명령어의 결과값을 예상하는 여러 결과값 예측기의 장점을 이용하여 놓은 성능을 얻을 수 있는 새로운 혼합형 예측 메커니즘을 제안한다. 제안된 혼합형 결과값 예측기는 예상 테이블을 모험적으로 갱신할 수 있기 때문에 부적절한(Stale) 데이터로 인해 잘못 예상되는 명령어의 수를 효과적으로 감소시킨다. 또한 정적 분류 정보를 사용하여 명령의 반입시 적절한 예측기에 할당함으로써 예상 정확도를 더욱 향상시키며, 하드웨어 비용을 효율적으로 감소시키도록 하였다. 5개의 SPECint 95 벤치마크 프로그램에 대해 SimpleScalar/PISA 3.0 툴셋을 사용하여 실험하였다. 16-이슈 폭에서 모험적 갱신을 사용한 평균 예상 정확도는 73%의 실험 결과가 나왔으며, 정적 분류 정보를 사용하였을 경우 예상 정확도가 88%로 증가된 결과를 얻었다.

최근 여러 논문에서 실 데이터 종속을 제거하기 위하여 결과 값 예상 기법을 제안하였다. 결과 값 예상 기법 중 혼합형 결과 값 예측기는 다양한 패턴을 갖는 명령어를 모두 예측함으로써 높은 예상 정확도를 얻을 수 있지만 하나의 명령어가 여러 개의 예측기 테이블에 중복 저장되어 높은 하드웨어 비용을 요구한다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위하여 프로파일링으로 얻어진 정적 분류 정보를 사용하여, 명령어률 예상 정확도가 높은 예측기에만 할당하여 예상 테이블 크기를 감소 시켰다. 또한 동적으로 적절한 예측기를 선택하도록 함으로써 예상 정확도를 더욱 향상 시켰다. 본 논문에서는 SPECint95 벤치마크 프로그램에 대해 SimpleScalar/PISA 3.0 툴셋을 사용하여 실험하였다. 정적-동적 분류 정보를 모두 사용하였을 경우 87.9%, VHT 크기를 4K로 축소한 경우 87.5%로 비슷한 예상정확도를 얻으면서 예상 테이블의 크기는 50%로 감소하였다. 또한 실행 패턴의 유형 비율에 따라 각 예측기의 VHT를 구성한 경우 예상 테이블 크기를 25%로 줄일 수 있었다.

Data dependencies are one of major hurdles to limit ILP(Instruction Level Parallelism), so several related works have suggested that the limit imposed by data dependencies can be overcome to some extent with use of the data value prediction. Hybrid value predictor can obtain the high prediction accuracy using advantages of various predictors, but it has a defect that same instruction has overlapping entries in all predictor. In this paper, we propose a new hybrid value predictor which achieves high performance by using the information of static and dynamic classification. The proposed predictor can enhance the prediction accuracy and efficiently decrease the prediction table size of predictor, because it allocates each instruction into single best-suited predictor during the fetch stage by using the information of static classification. Also, it can enhance the prediction accuracy because it selects a best- suited prediction method for the “Unknown”pattern instructions by using the dynamic classification mechanism. Simulation results based on the SimpleScalar/PISA tool set and the SPECint95 benchmarks show the average correct prediction rate of 85.1% by using the static classification mechanism. Also, we achieve the average correction prediction rate of 87.6% by using static and dynamic classification mechanism.

In this paper, the performance of a hybrid value predictor according to the instruction fetch rate on window size superscalar processors is evaluated. In general, the data dependency relations of instructions are increased with the number of the fetched instructions. Therefore, it is expected that the performance of a value predictor will be higher when the instruction fetch rate is increased. The performance is studied for the machine with collapsing buffer and he one with trace cache as an instruction fetch mechanism. As a result of experiment, it is showed that the performance effect of a value predictor is higher as the instruction fetch rate of instruction window size, IPC, predict rate on apply with non-tc and tc is increased.

Every baseball game generates various records and on the basis of those records, win/lose prediction about the next game is carried out. Researches on win/lose predictions of professional baseball games have been carried out, but there are not so good results yet. Win/lose prediction is very difficult because the choice of features on win/lose predictions among many records is difficult and because the complexity of a learning model is increased due to overlapping factors among the data used in prediction. In this paper, learning features were chosen by opinions of baseball experts and a heuristic function was formed using the chosen features. We propose a hybrid model by creating a new value which can affect predictions by combining multiple features, and thus reducing a dimension of input value which will be used for backpropagation learning algorithm. As the experimental results show, the complexity of backpropagation was reduced and the accuracy of win/lose predictions on professional baseball games was improved.

Mixing efficiency of the unlike Impinging split triplet injector(FOOF type) were measured to investigate the effect of the momentum ratio variation. $H_2$O/kerosene were used as a propellant simulant. The maximum mixing efficiency occured at the momentum ratio 1.5 (total mixture ratio 1.89). Calculated mixing efficiency of real propellant LOX/Kerosene showed similar trend but maximum efficiency of characteristic velocity occurs at the momentum ratio 2.0(total mixture ratio 2.17). Although there exist a little discrepancy between calculated mixing efficiency based on simulant cold test and hot fire test results, this calculated mixing efficiency can be used to predict hot fire mixing efficiency.

두 층으로 이루어진 박막에서 이온선 혼합에 의해 형성되는 결정상 및 비정질상을 예측할 수 있는 새로운 모델을 제시하였다. 기존의 예측 모델과는 달리, 이온선 혼합 공정에서의 확산메카니즘에 영향을 미치는 변수로서 각 원소의 응집에너지와 침입형자리 크기 그리고, 이온반경을 이용하였다. 비정질상 형상 여부를 결정하는 인자로서 ADF(amorphization determinating factor)를 새로 정의하여 다음과 같이 모델식을 세웠다. 즉, ADF=C1(RB-rA)＋C2(Ecoh, max/Ecoh, min)＋$\alpha$이다. ADF가 양의 갓을 갖는 계는 이온선 혼합에 의해 비정질상이 형성되며 ADF가 음의 값을 갖는 계는 비정질상이 형성되지 않는다. 70여 가지의 금속/금속 및 금속/실리콘계에 대한 실험결과로부터 본 모델을 검증하였으며 아직까지 실험결과가 부족한 몇 가지 금속/실리콘계에 대해서 본 모델을 이용하여 비정질상 형성 여부를 예측하였다.
