The different lengths of global branch history used to + * index the partially tagged tables grow geometrically. A small path history + * is also used in the hash. L-TAGE also features a loop predictor that records + * iteration count of loops and predicts accordingly. + * + * All TAGE tables are accessed in parallel, and the one using the longest + * history that matches provides the prediction (some exceptions apply). + * Entries are allocated in components using a longer history than the + * one that predicted when the prediction is incorrect. + */ + +#ifndef __CPU_PRED_LTAGE +#define __CPU_PRED_LTAGE + +#include + +#include "base/types.hh" +#include "cpu/pred/bpred_unit.hh" +#include "params/LTAGE.hh" + +class LTAGE: public BPredUnit +{ + public: + LTAGE(const LTAGEParams *params);
