Abstract:
The present disclosure generally describes computing systems with a multi-core processor comprising one or more branch predictor arrangements. The branch predictor are configured to predict a single and complete flow of program instructions associated therewith and to be performed on at least one processor core of the computing system. Overall processor performance and physical scalability may be improved by the described methods.
