Abstract
- Speculative execution is a key concept to increase the performance of superscalar processors. Given accurate branch prediction mechanisms, the efficiency of speculative execution is mainly determined by the speculation depth. In this work, we evaluate the pressure of speculative execution on the resource requirements of a typical superscalar architecture.
