Abstract | Modern embedded processors highly rely on the accuracy of branch predictors. Large predictors with complex prediction algorithms cause more power consumption of the embedded systems which are already power hungry. Power consumed by a branch predictor can be reduced by removing unnecessary predictor accesses. In this paper we present the design of a low power branch predictor that exploits the well-behaved branches. Well-behaved branches are loops which show continuous Taken branch results. Our method is based on the Taken Branch Identification Table(TBIT). It maintains well-behaved taken-branch data that are updated by a 2-bit saturated counter learning algorithm. Through the TBIT, we eliminate unnecessary lookups and updates of a predictor when a well-behaved taken-branch instruction is executed repeatedly such as in a loop. The effectiveness of the proposed branch predictor is confirmed by the simulation results of the SPECint2000 and Mediabench benchmarks. The experimental results show that with negligible performance degradation, our method can reduce the power consumption of branch predictor about 40% and the processor total power consumption about 2.3% on average. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
