摘要
Branch prediction circuitry including a bimodal branch history table, a fetch-based branch history table and a selector table is provided. The local branch history table includes a plurality of entries each for storing a prediction value and accessed by selected bits of a branch address. The fetch-based branch history table included a plurality of entries for storing a prediction value and accessed by a pointer generated from selected bits of the branch address and bits from a history register. The selector table includes a plurality of entries each for storing a selection bit and accessed by a pointer generated from selected bits from the branch address and bits from the history register, each selector bit is used for selecting between a prediction value accessed from the local history table and a prediction value accessed from the fetch-based history table.
