摘要: A predictor which chooses between two or more predictors is described. The includes a first component operates according to algorithm produce prediction of an action and second said action. also means, coupled each predictors, for choosing predictions provided from provide the predictor. can be used predict outcomes branches, cache hits, prefetched instruction sequences, so forth.
