Abstract

Examples of a system, method and computer accessible medium are provided to generate a predicate prediction for a distributed multi-core architecture. Using such system, method and computer accessible medium, it is possible to intelligently encode approximate predicate path information on branch instructions. Using this statically generated information, distributed predicate predictors can generate dynamic predicate histories that can facilitate an accurate prediction of high-confidence predicates, while minimizing the communication between the cores.
