Abstract

Disclosed is a method for creating a verification environment to drive a Branch History Table. It consists of two components. First, a method for creating instruction streams for controlling the stress on branch history table logic. The second is a method for pre-loading the branch history array to allow for interesting simulations at the beginning of the test.
