Ninth Great Lakes Symposium on VLSI VLSI Implementation of Early Branch Prediction Circuits for High Performance Computing Ann Arbor, Michigan March 04-March 06 ISBN: 0-7695-0104-4
In this paper, design and VLSI Implementation of an Early Branch Prediction (EBP) circuit, based on a variation of Carry Look-ahead scheme is presented. The key features of this design are low area, high speed (2 ?log n/2 ? + 1), and high modularity. This design out performs all the EBP designs presented so far. For 64-bit word length the early branch prediction is obtained in 679 ps as simulated for 0.2- mm technology under typical conditions. Simulation and layout results for 0.2- mm CMOS technology show a 30% increase in speed with 25% decrease in area as compared, to recently published results.
