I can't really comment on the tradeoffs between specific ISAs since I've mainly worked on micro-arch research (which is ISA agnostic for most of the pipeline). As for the questions on research into looking at decode complexity v i

I can't comment on the economics of it but I can comment on the technical difficulties. The issue for x86 cores is keeping the ROB fed with instructions - no point in building a huge OoO if you can't keep it fed with instructions.

Yes. TAGE still does better than perceptron, but combining the two is likely to give you the best performance currently. Of course, all this is dependent on area allocated to the predictor and the workloads being run.

While this is completely valid advice, it might not be applicable with junior faculty who may not have graduated many students. I chose my advisor (who was as assistant professor at the time) based on the belief that I'll get to publis

I've heard this view echoed by friends who've visited China (I'm Indian). A major reason for this difference might be the fact that China opened up its markets in the late 1970's while India's market liberalization
