This paper introduces the prophet/critic hybrid conditional branch predictor, which has two component predictors that play the role of either prophet or critic. The prophet is a conventional predictor that uses branch history to predict the direction of the current branch. Further accesses of the prophet yield predictions for the branches following the current one. Predictions for the current branch and the ones that follow are collectively known as the branch's future. They are actually a prophecy, or predicted branch future. The critic uses both the branch's history and future to give a critique of the prophet's prediction fo the current branch. The critique, either agree or disagree, is used to generate the final prediction for the branc...
