Computers are everywhere and the need for always more computation power has pushed the processor architects to find new ways to increase performance. The today's tendency is to replicate execution core on the same die to parallelize the execution. If it goes on, processors will become manycores featuring hundred to a thousand cores. However, Amdahl's law reminds us that increasing the sequential performance will always be vital to increase global performance. A perfect way to increase sequential performance is to improve how branches are executed because they limit instruction level parallelism. The branch prediction is the most studied solution, its interest greatly depending on its accuracy. In the last years, this accuracy has been conti...
