Early evaluation of branches via decoupled access-execute to enable super-block optimizations
Modern CPUs rely on expensive branch predictors to speed up execution. Predictions nevertheless imply speculation, which is inherently costly, as mispredictions and re-execution of instructions can not only slow down execution but require extra energy expenditure. From the compiler perspective, the...
