I didn't know that! Do you have any references that go into more depth here? I'd be curious how the architect and train it.

- isotypic 8mo agoI believe D. A. Jimenez and C. Lin, "Dynamic branch prediction with perceptrons" is the paper which introduced the idea. It's been significantly refined since and I'm not too familiar with modern improvements, but B. Grayson et al., "Evolution of the Samsung Exynos CPU Microarchitecture" has a section on the branch predictor design which would talk about/reference some of those modern improvements.
