TAGE is a global-history based * branch predictor. It features a PC-indexed bimodal predictor and N * partially tagged tables, indexed with a hash of the PC and the global * branch history. The different lengths of global branch history used to * index the partially tagged tables grow geometrically. A small path history * is also used in the hash. * * All TAGE tables are accessed in parallel, and the one using the longest * history that matches provides the prediction (some exceptions apply). * Entries are allocated in components using a longer history than the * one that predicted when the prediction is incorrect. */ #ifndef __CPU_PRED_TAGE #define __CPU_PRED_TAGE #include #include "base/types.hh" #include "cpu/pred/bpred_unit.hh" #include "cpu/pred/tage_base.hh" #include "params/TAGE.hh" class TAGE: public BPredUnit { protected: TAGEBase *tage; struct TageBranchInfo { TAGEBase::BranchInfo *tageBranchInfo; TageBranchInfo(TAGEBase &tage) : tageBranchInfo(tage.makeBranchInfo()) {} virtual ~TageBranchInfo() { delete tageBranchInfo; } }; virtual bool predict(ThreadID tid, Addr branch_pc, bool cond_branch, void* &b); public: TAGE(const TAGEParams *params); // Base class methods. void uncondBranch(ThreadID tid, Addr br_pc, void* &bp_history) override; bool lookup(ThreadID tid, Addr branch_addr, void* &bp_history) override; void btbUpdate(ThreadID tid, Addr branch_addr, void* &bp_history) override; void update(ThreadID tid, Addr branch_addr, bool taken, void *bp_history, bool squashed, const StaticInstPtr & inst, Addr corrTarget = MaxAddr) override; virtual void squash(ThreadID tid, void *bp_history) override; }; #endif // __CPU_PRED_TAGE
