Abstract:
A processor comprising a processor pipeline comprising one or more execution units configured to execute branch instructions, a branch predictor coupled to the processor pipeline and configured to predict a branch instruction outcome, and a branch classification unit coupled to the processor pipeline and the branch prediction unit. The branch classification unit is configured to, in response to detecting a branch instruction, classify the branch instruction as at least one of the following: static taken branch, static not-taken branch, simple easy-to-predict branch, flip flop hard-to-predict (HTP) branch, dynamic HTP, biased positive HTP, biased negative HTP, and other HTP.

Claim (Index 13):
The computing system of  claim 12 , wherein the branch classification unit comprises a branch classification table (BCT) including one or more entries, wherein each of the one or more entries comprises a confusion matrix configured to record an actual behavior and a predicted behavior of a branch instruction.
