In this paper, we propose a hybrid d-step predictor which is composed of an adaptive predictor and a Kalman predictor. We prove the performance limit of the proposed predictor. Simulation is conducted to examine the performance of the proposed predictor. Simulation results show that the proposed combined predictor is superior to the adaptive predictor and the Kalman predictor. Proposed predictor is used for prediction of gun tip vibration of k1 tank. The result is compared with that of conventional adaptive predictor.

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.

In this paper, we propose an improved reduction model and a reduction model-based hybrid smith-predictor fuzzy controller. The transient and steady-state responsed of the reduction model was evaluated. In tuning the controller, the parameters of PID and the factors fuzzy controllers were obtained from the reduced model and by using genetic algorithms, respectively. Simulation examples demonstrated a better performance of the proposed controller than conventional ones.

As processor's operational frequency increases and processors execute multiple instructions per cycle, the processor performance becomes more dependent on the load operand referencing latency and the data dependency. To reduce the operand fetch latency and to increase ILP by breaking the data dependency, we propose a value-address hybrid predictor using a reasonable size prediction buffer and analyse the performance improvement by the proposed predictor. Through the extensive simulation of 5 benchmark programs, the proposed hybrid prediction scheme accurately predicts 62.72% of all loads which are 12.64% higher than the value prediction scheme and show its cost-effectiveness compared to the address predition scheme. In addition, we analyse the performance improvement achieved by the stride management and the history of previous predictions.

Recently studies have shown that conditional branches can be accurately predicted by recording the path leading up to the branch. But path predictors are more complex and uncompatible with existing pattern branch predictors. In order to solve these problems, we propose a simple path branch predictor(SPBP) that hashes together two most recent branch instruction addresses. In addition, we propose a pattern/path hybrid branch predictor composed of the SPBP and existing pattern branch predictors. Through the trace-driven simulation of six benchmark programs, the performance improvement by the proposed pattern/path hybrid branch prediction is analysed and validated. The proposed predictor can improve the prediction accuracy from 94.21% to 95.03%.

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.

This paper presents a prediction structure with a Hybrid Dynamic Branch Prediction (HDBP) scheme which decreases the number of stalls. In the application, a branch history register is dynamically adjusted to produce more unique index values of pattern history table (PHT). The number of stalls is also reduced by using the modified gshare predictor with a long history register folding scheme. The aliasing rate decreased to 44.1% and the miss prediction rate decreased to 19.06% on average compared with the gshare branch predictor, one of the most popular two-level branch predictors. Moreover, Compared with the gshare, an average improvement of 1.28% instructions per cycle (IPC) was achieved. Thus, with regard to the accuracy of branch prediction, the HDBP is remarkably useful in boosting the overall performance of the superscalar processor.

In this paper, we proposed development of improved model reduction and design of hierarchical controller using reduction model. The model reduction is considered that it is the transient response and the steady-state response through the use of nyquist curve. The hierarchical controller selected tuning of PID controller to ensure specified gain and phase margin and hybrid smith-predictor fuzzy controller using reduction model. Simulation examples are given to show the better performance of the proposed method than conventional methods.
