Member Function Documentation

◆ btbUpdate()

void TAGE::btbUpdate ( ThreadID  tid,
Addr  instPC,
void *&  bp_history 
)
overridevirtual

If a branch is not taken, because the BTB address is invalid or missing, this function sets the appropriate counter in the global and local predictors to not taken.

Parameters
inst_PCThe PC to look up the local predictor.
bp_historyPointer that will be set to an object that has the branch predictor state associated with the lookup.

Implements BPredUnit.

Definition at line 114 of file tage.cc.

References PowerISA::bi, TAGEBase::btbUpdate(), and tage.

◆ lookup()

bool TAGE::lookup ( ThreadID  tid,
Addr  instPC,
void *&  bp_history 
)
overridevirtual

Looks up a given PC in the BP to see if it is taken or not taken.

Parameters
inst_PCThe PC to look up.
bp_historyPointer that will be set to an object that has the branch predictor state associated with the lookup.
Returns
Whether the branch is taken or not taken.

Implements BPredUnit.

◆ squash()

void TAGE::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.

Implements BPredUnit.

Reimplemented in LTAGE.

◆ update()

void TAGE::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.
