Member Function Documentation

◆ init()

void gem5::branch_prediction::LTAGE::init ( )
overridevirtual

init() is called after all C++ SimObjects have been created and all ports are connected.

Initializations that are independent of unserialization but rely on a fully instantiated and connected SimObject graph should be done here.

Reimplemented from gem5::SimObject.

Definition at line 59 of file ltage.cc.

References gem5::SimObject::init().

◆ predict()

bool gem5::branch_prediction::LTAGE::predict ( ThreadID  tid,
Addr  branch_pc,
bool  cond_branch,
void *&  b 
)
overrideprotectedvirtual

Get a branch prediction from LTAGE.

NOT an override of BpredUnit::predict().

Parameters
tidThe thread ID to select the global histories to use.
branch_pcThe unshifted branch PC.
cond_branchTrue if the branch is conditional.
bReference to wrapping pointer to allow storing derived class prediction information in the base class.

Reimplemented from gem5::branch_prediction::TAGE.

Reimplemented in gem5::branch_prediction::TAGE_SC_L.

◆ squash()

void gem5::branch_prediction::LTAGE::squash ( ThreadID  tid,
void *  bp_history 
)
overridevirtual
Parameters
bp_historyPointer to the history object. The predictor will need to update any state and delete the object.

Reimplemented from gem5::branch_prediction::TAGE.

Definition at line 139 of file ltage.cc.

References gem5::PowerISA::bi, loopPredictor, gem5::branch_prediction::LoopPredictor::squash(), and gem5::branch_prediction::TAGE::squash().

◆ update()

void gem5::branch_prediction::LTAGE::update ( ThreadID  tid,
Addr  instPC,
bool  taken,
void *  bp_history,
bool  squashed,
const StaticInstPtr inst,
Addr  corrTarget 
)
overridevirtual

Updates the BP with taken/not taken information.

Parameters
inst_PCThe branch's PC that will be updated.
takenWhether the branch was taken or not taken.
bp_historyPointer to the branch predictor state that is associated with the branch lookup that is being updated.
squashedSet to true when this function is called during a squash operation.
instStatic instruction information
corrTargetThe resolved target of the branch (only needed for squashed branches)
Todo:
Make this update flexible enough to handle a global predictor.

Implements gem5::branch_prediction::BPredUnit.
