The goal of this practical work is to evaluate the performance of several branch prediction models.
The source codes of the different predictors have been produced in the folder sim/ under the name predictor_<name_of_predictor>.cc
To compile the simulator with the desired predictor, you must create a symbolic link predictor.cc to said predictor. For example:
cd ./sim && ln -s predictor_perceptron.cc predictor.cc
The predictor.h header has been enhanced with various attributes required by other predictor implementations.
Once the symbolic link is created, we can compile the project:
cd ./sim && make clean && make
This work was done as part of the Conception and Exploration of multi-core architectures course given in the last year of the Information Systems Engineering specialization at Grenoble INP - Ensimag, UGA.
