  1. RESULTS

  2. Experimental Framework • Goal • Simplicity of a trace based simulator • Flexibility to model special predictors ( e.g., using data values) • Trace driven with pipeline timing information • Tracing Methodology: • Detailed timing simulator with perfect branch predictor • 50M uops per trace • Traces include pipeline behavior/timing, instruction address, uop type etc.

  3. Experiments • Workloads • 40 workloads selected from a large pool of applications • 5 classes: CLIENT 16, INT 6, MM 7, SERVER 5, WS 6 • Metrics • Arithmetic average of MPPKI ( Misprediction Penalty per Kilo Instructions) No secret workloads
