Energy-Efficient Branch Predictor via Instruction Block Type Prediction in Decoupled Frontend

The branch predictor is widely used to enhance processor performance, but it also constitutes one of the major energy-consuming components in processors. We found that approximately 32% of instruction blocks in a decoupled frontend do not contain branch instructions, while 30.8% of instruction block...
